Several months ago I was in London Drugs and saw the Ladybug Tea Drip Catcher which I bought. Later that week I came across the ladybug fabric and knew I needed to make a tea cozy to go with it.
I loved the tree fabric and made these placemats. I changed the placement of the main fabric so when they're on the table there will be an illusion of movement from the place to place. I also just found some dishes at Wal-Mart which will coordinate beautifully.
The Christmas Card Caddy is by Patrick Lose and was in Fons & Porter's Quilting Celebrations Fall/Winter 2011. The striped lower front is a pocket, perfect for cards or candy canes.
This was a fun project. You sew together charm squares, recut the blocks using the Lil' Twister ruler and sew them back together for instant pinwheels.
