Here is what my February looked like:
- redecorating the sewing room - you will most likely not see me do that again any time soon!
- lots of paper piecing - which I am bound to do more of this month ;)
- my first pattern - yay!
- dress making - something I really would like to get better at, I love my Tova!
- the beginning of a sampler quilt, a long term project.
This week I have been happily pottering about with my scrappy leaf pattern. First I sewed some small leaves with the intention of making a lovely necklace like Charise did. But I changed my mind and made these two reverse applique coasters instead.
I love how they turned out!
Next I enlarged the pattern by 150% to see what a larger leaf would look like. It measures about 7" tall which fits perfectly in my hand :)
So I added a layer of cotton batting and insulbright for it to be used as a potholder or hotpad but I also think this size makes a nice coaster or snackmat.
Now hop on over to Lynne's to see what everyone else has been up to!

ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic - love, love, love the leafy coasters and as me and my scraps are friends I might have to give those a try! Would look great as a little detail on a cute linen pouch or runner! So much to do, so little time

ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via Lynne - am so glad I did - I already am loving looking through your posts. Those reverse applique coasters are awesome and I love the fabrics you are using in your granny squares.
ReplyDeleteOk, I really need this pattern! Off to your shop now!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Love the idea of the leafy pot holder!
ReplyDeleteWhat fab things you have been making - I do like the way you combine your prints and colours. By complete coincidence I was pinning Tova on my Pinterest boards today and thinking about making clothes again - I am wondering how easy it is to make?
