Playtime!
It's raining cats and dogs today! I have a mess of soggy leaves all over my yard that will need to be raked when they dry out. But not today. Today is a rain day - a day to play!
This morning I cooked up some yummy chicken patties for the freezer, and I do hope to find time to bake some pumpkin muffins in the afternoon, but the sewing room is calling my name and I have to answer. It's mug rugs today! Just as soon I finish this post.
A few weeks ago I found this scrumptious fat eighth bundle
of Moda’s Lario fabrics on one of Craftsy’s sales. I had no idea what I’d make
from these feminine pastel prints.
I wasn’t really thinking “mug rug”, but that’s where I’ve
used the first bits of it. I’m stitching up the first of at least two little
“heart” quilts.
There’s one minor problem with this small paper pieced heart. Do you see the one little red piece that seems to float all alone?
I’ll get that bit of the pattern fixed, but this first heart should still be salvageable. It just needs something small to cover the flaw and
brighten it up. A button would be good – a very special button, if I can find one.
I’ve searched the nearby shops for that perfect button, but
I still haven’t found anything at all that I like. First choice would be a nice
flat one in red and cream swirls, but I likely won’t find that. This weekend
I’ll be heading out to do more searching, but just in case I’m out of luck there
is a plan B … a plan C, too!
Enough writing. I'm off to the sewing room.
Happy Stitching!!
