stitch me up blog hop

Today I am taking part in the Stitch Me Up blog hop hosted by

Sew WE Quilt blog.

I have a limited number of embroidery stitches under my belt, but I
still find that stitching is very relaxing and satisfying.

I chose a pattern by bee tree designs to make a mug rug for my daughter.

This project measures  7 X 8.5 inches...the perfect size for a cup of tea.

I like to make french knots, so I had to include some in this embroidery piece : )

The fabric that I used was linen and Kitchy Kitchen by Maude Asbury for Blend fabrics.

The thread was Presencia No. 12.

I hope you will take some time to visit all the other blogs taking part in this fun blog hop.

Thank you so much, Jane and Madame Samm for organizing this for all of us!

little quilt monday~~~scrappy trip along

Little Quilt Monday

I decided to sew the twelve blocks that I have made for the scrappy trip along

and stop there.  It isn't as big as originally planned, but I am going

to add some linen negative space for colorful embroidery that will go along

with all these lovely Kaffe fabrics!

I wrote a small essay for one of The Modern Quilt Guild contests a few months

ago and although I didn't win the essay contest, I did receive this book

at the last OKCMQG meeting for entering!

I have been following Kaffe's colorful journey and buying his

fabric for years, so this is a great book to add to my library : )

I know these fabrics are not for everyone, but they do speak to me...

I also " dream in color".

Now it is your turn to link up something to

Little Quilt Monday

1.  This link-up party is for any small project.  For example, mini quilts, doll quilts, baby quilts, place mats, mug rugs,

wall quilts, table runners, etc.

2.  They can be a WIP(work-in-progress) or finished.

3.  If it is something from the past there is no need to write a new blog post, just link the one that you have already written, and, please link back to my blog post.

4.   If you are interested, you can add your pictures to my flickr group here, or join my Facebook group here. 

Let's inspire each other!

I have wanted a loom for years.  After seeing Beth's blogpost about her loom and

seeing all the wonderful things that she has made,

I decided to take the plunge!

It is a cloudy day, so I am sorry for the dark picture.

But I am very happy with my first project and I know that it

is going to be great fun to use my fabric scraps this way : )

Now it is your turn to link up something~~~~what do you have for

I received the pincushion from my swap partner for the

QuiltCon pincushion swap.  It is a darling bird : )

This cutie was made by Christine, from the Cincinnati MQG.
Here is her post about making her pincushion.

It was such a lovely day, I decided to bring her outside for some fresh air!
