A Day of Fun

I had a swap I needed to finish up.

First initials of the one swapping with

The C is on red pin dots.

I hate it when I don't focus on the details.

I ended up addressing this one to the S swap partner and had to redo the back of the card. 

The S is on a marbled brown.

Playing with the bobcat embroidery.

These are coasters.

There are 2 friends DD is close to, so I thought 2 for them, 1 for DD, one for us and 2 for friends who has a bobcat too.

It's hard to turn them with the embroidery.

I think I need to hunt for more gold fabric.

I don't have much variety of it.

I have some of the maroon, so that works.

Mug rugs

These were left over hsts that were from a Christmas Quilt

I had enough of them that I wanted to do something, but they didn't work in a quilt with what I had.

So, mug rugs/candlemats

  

   

Why is it you find the mistake after you birth it, and quilt it? 

Oh well.....

Go Cats Go

DD's College Mascot is a Bobcat.

I made her a little mug rug.

If she wanted, she could hang it on the door with thumbtacks.

candle mats

Three green leftover HST mats from a Christmas project.

I now have some red ones to make up.

That will be for another day.

Finishes

I decided to quilt on the small machine instead of the long arm.

First of 4 green ones.

Finished quilting the CIL quilt I've had for a bit.

Mailed it back today.
