Heart Garland...and Tutorial from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full


I started playing around with hearts this week:

 


No pattern...just an idea 

I wanted to work through...





Before I knew it I had a heart garland

to hang on a mantel or wall or window, etc.





I pawed through the fabric cupboards

and found some pinks...

so made another Heart Garland...





These are FUN and don't require

a lot of your fabric or your time...





I hung them up on the design wall

for a photo shoot...





I turned my back and there were FOUR !

I ended up making SIX Heart Garlands

and already gave two of them ...

Team Work... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full


She began sewing on my Bernina

Acorn Candle Mats

 


This is an acorn coaster pattern...

I enlarged it and changed the shape a bit...





I pulled these homespun fabrics

from the cupboard...





Before too long I had an 

acorn candle mat completed...





I had a great deal of fun using these

homespun fabrics...





Trying out different color combinations...





It was hard to stop...

I just had to keep cutting them out

and stitching them together.











I rounded up a few candles

to try them on for size...




Acorn Candle Mats...

Great for gift giving this autumn.

This is a very FUN and FREE pattern from

Fig Tree & Company 


Acorn Garland & Coasters





I am using 5 inch charm squares...

of fabric for the bottom of the acorn...
