Another tea pot cosy

I made another tea cosy using the tutorial from spoonful of sugar. I made this slightly larger and it fits Hubbys tea pot perfectly. I love this fabric and have had it for years waiting for the perfect project!

For Gran

Now I have given this to my mum, I can post about it.I made this tea cosy using a tutorial from a Spoonful of sugar.

I also made a table runner based on one in the book, Simply Modern Christmas by Cindy Lammon of Hyacinth Quilts. i simplified it slightly by using one fabric for the strips at the sides similar to one Cindy made and blogged about previously. I met Cindy when I lived in St Charles and she is a lovely lady. Her quilts are beautiful and her blog worth reading!

Bear Paw

Some more Kate Spain fabric! This is a bear paw version from the Missouri Quilt Co. The tutorial is here. I want to make sooo many of their quilts. I made the baby bear version but I sashed between the blocks.

The backing was going to be a skirt!

Think Big cushion

I bought a copy of the Think Big book by Amy Ellis, who blogs at Amy's Creative Side, a while ago and finally finished this cushion. The book is great. I love that it has a table with what you need for 1 block so you can make any size project. I have also made a table runner from the book which is waiting to be quilted. The fabric in the cushion is the same as my zebra!

Modern Maples place mat

I couldn't resist making more modern maples blocks. I made one place mat but will make more  to match it and this runner occasionally when I feel like making this block.
