Flannel Pillowcases

While searching through my fabric bins I came across this cute flannel and decided to make some winter pillowcases for our couch pillows (1 regular & 2 travel size).  I still have some left which might make it into a new winter couch quilt :)

Happy Quilting!

Herringbone Hot Pads

Size: 10" x 10"

Pattern:  Herringbone Hot Pads by Melanie Dramatic (melaniedramatic.com) ufor 

Moda Bake Shop (Tutorial at www.modabakeshop.com)

Fabric:  Charms - Barcelona by Moda

Two layers of batting and a layer of Insul-Bright inbetween will keep the heat away and the back-to-front binding made the finishing fast and easy.  From one charm pack, I made four pads (two sets).  I also think it would make an awesome block in a quilt with some sashing - five charm packs would be twenty blocks :)

Happy Quilting!

Rock Candy

Size:  20.125" x 23"

Pattern:  Rock Candy by Little Jaybird Quilts

Fabrics:  Perfect Palette by Fabric Freedom

Thread:  King Tut 913

This topper went together really smoothly - especially after I started pressing the seams open.  I will definitely be making it again!  (Sorry the color is off in these bottom two pictures - it was a darkish day when I was taking them & I've already sent the sample to Galena Bay Novelty Fabrics).

Happy Quilting!

Cross-Eyed

Size:  14" x 14"

Pattern:  Cross-Eyed from Micro Mini Quilts by Moose on the Porch Quilts

The fabric for the blocks was from the Kaffe Collective by Rowan (2.5" squares).

My final quilt turned out a bit bigger (14" instead of 13") than the pattern - I squared each block to 2.75" because I could.

To quilt it, I dropped the feed dogs and meandered all over.

On the back I used a fat quarter of Northcott Stonehenge and for binding a striped fabric from Michael Miller.

Happy Quilting!

Chapstick Cozy

I followed the tutorial by Little Bit Funky for the Chapstick Cozy - Five Minute Edition (www.littlebitfunky.com).  It was quick & easy.  I didn't have a plain d-ring in my stash but I did have the clip ring that I was going to use to make a new lanyard for my keys - it worked perfectly! It can now hook onto my purse or tote bag.

Happy Quilting!

Edit:  It also fits my Clinique lipgloss!!!

Flannel Dog Blanket

Size:  21.5" x 21.5"

I cut my flannel scraps into 4" squares and make my dogs little quilts.  They use them in front of their crates, in front of the fireplace and just in general.  Somehow, their first ones have lasted over a year but I keep thinking that with all the washings and use, etc, that it would be a good idea to have a back up or two.  So here is my first extra.

I stitched in the ditch and then about 0.5" on either side of the seam line.

Sometimes Charlie loves his quilt...

and sometimes he doesn't...

Bud loves his too and is a lot easier on his but didn't want to be in the picture :)

Happy Quilting!

Java Macchiato Bento Box

Pattern:  Bento Box by Tracey Brookshier

Size:  48.5" x 60.5"

Fabrics:  Java Macchiato by Stephanie Prescott for Galaxy, a division of EE Schenck Co (one strip set for this size)

Binding:  Tonga by Timeless Treasures

Backing:  Woolies by Bonnie Sullivan & Maywood Studio - this is one of the softest flannels

Thread:  King Tut 983

I stitched in the ditch - it was enough to make all the gorgeous prints stand out.

I have a small little pile of scraps left - maybe a mug rug or two???

Happy Quilting!
