Fabric Tuesday - Christmas project photos!

Drum roll please! It's finally time to show you the final two Christmas projects I was working on!

First up is a mug rug for my mom. She loves leaves and red is her favorite color, so it's no surprise what this little mug rug looks like!

I quilted it in a curly-q motion on the side (kind of like wind if you want to go with the theme) and around the big leaf are little tiny leaves courtesy of my sewing machine.

I had a lot of fun making this little guy! Maybe this is the year to try one of those mug rug swaps!

Finally, here is the biggest project I worked on - a quilt for my sister. This quilt is sort of inspired my Elizabeth Hartmann's Mix Tape quilt. I used Kate Spain's Fandango line because it so perfectly captured the hip, young, modern, fresh vibe that is totally my sister. :)

I'm so proud of this quilt! It is a pattern I would definitely make again, and maybe even do a quilt along or tutorial if anyone is interested!

Happy Fabric Tuesday all! I can't wait to see everyone else's Christmas projects!

Fabric Tuesday!

It's that time again over at Quilt Story and I actually have something I can share this week!

I'm still all Christmas presents all the time, and am almost done with my second of three (or maybe four if I can) Christmas quilts. This one is for my in-laws. My husband is a third generation Eagle Scout on his Dad's side, so scouting has been a big part of their lives. My husband's grandpa was an Eagle Scout and also a vet, so in my in-laws basement they have a flag from when he passed away, as well as all the Eagle Scout certificates and patches and the like of all of them in the family. When Robert Kaufman came out with the scout line, I quickly snatched some up and have now turned it into a quilt that will (hopefully) make a nice addition to the wall of scouting! :)

I'm really happy with it and can't wait to get it basted and binded! I love this quilt pattern because it allows more of the pretty fabric pattern to show, and it's really easy and went together super quickly!

Happy Fabric Tuesday!
