Now with ample time away for personal items...
it is time to go back to basics!
I have been working on some fun things
in the past few weeks...
and although I can't tell where this one is going...
I can show what it is...unfinished as it is...
This is my rendition of the candle mat for the swap!
I just fell into this pattern, and I think I like it...
ever make anything you wish you didn't have
to send out? I think I will just make one for me
in the same fabrics!
After it's all cut out...finding the right layout is key
This was the fun part...piecing it all together
I took out the middle square to do a little twist...
I loved the way this looked...
And so then to try it out...
See? Doesn't Santa look happy to be the center of attention?
I will put a backing on this today, bind and quilt it and off in the mail
it will go tomorrow to it's new owner!
I hope she likes it. She asked for bright...do you think this will fit the bill?
Love it! Think it will be the perfect project for a Christmas exchange I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteWhere you took the middle square out.....I was wondering if you were going to leave the pretty flower block in the middle....then I realized it was your ironing board cover!
ReplyDeleteNice recovery on the middle square! Santa looks at home.
This is just wonderful - I so want to quilt !!
