Dragonflies and Butterflies -- Oh my

I've been working on a lot of baby quilts lately.   Seems everyone and their brother (literally) is having a baby.   While working on a quilt using the dragonfly fabric last night, I wondered why I had never done a quilt that combined the butterfly fabric and the dragonfly fabric.  

So I did.

Here's a close up of the fabrics.

This is a baby quilt, because well, babies lately.   It is not for friends or family, it is for sale.   You can also get it in the yellow or purple.    Or all of them (which would be so much fun to do) or any combination of the 3 colors.   It can also be done in other sizes.

Mug Rugging (aka more fun with fabric)

Went with a new pattern for the mug rugs.   Okay, this is the same pattern I use for the table runners.   I decided to try it to see what happened.    I like this so much better.   This one is wider than the old version of the mug rug.   Room for a bigger snack!!!!

These are so much fun to make.   Again, I like the interplay of the fabrics.  With only 4 strips I can only do so much, but what I can do is great.   Plus its a great way to use up smaller bits of fabric batting.   No waste in quilting.




I had so much fun with the mug rug, I made a matching table runner.  






This is what happens when I fall in love with a fabric.   I just want to keep making things with it.  (wait until you see what happens with all the fall fabric I've been collection)

Thank You to Our Troops

Found this great fabric to make this beautiful tablerunner.    What a great tribute to our troops.    The front says "Thank You" in red, white and blue.   The back says "God Bless America."

25% of the proceeds go to USO.  

Order your tablerunner for yourself, a family member, the member of the military you hold dear today.
