Christmas is a' Comin'

 Merry Christmas, everyone!


Here's some Christmas presents getting finished. I felt like I was visiting old friends with these two projects. The floral table runner is made with some leftover pieces from a large half hexagon quilt...see my header on the blog? Yep, that's the one ~




 I love the pieced back, if I were keeping it, this side would be showing the most ~







 

This one is a 'Christmas prints only' Ticker Tape project.

 One piece of muslin, grid drawn it to mark 15 'mug rugs', and glue stick the little pieces down.
 Quilt, wash, cut apart and bind.


  Voila! 15 mini gifts ~




I've been giving them away about as soon as they are bound, 
sorry there are no pictures of a finished one ~
Merry Christmas, everyone!

  13. Very clever way to make all the mug rugs at once, but you had me at the table runner ! Ooh, it's scrumptious and I would use ALL sides of it,.......that is, until someone came near it with something that might leave a stain ! NO.......NO !

    Merry Christmas, friend !

  14. While the hexagons are beautiful, I too would be using the back. Flowers are so cheerful in the dark days of winter! Merry Christmas!
