The Blue Circle Quilt done...

I finished this before Christmas so it had it's moment and now I will show it off.



I have just finished the binding on last year's Christmas quilt.  (This is the back.)  I'm not sure where it should go.  But I like it.


Christmas, hand applique circles

I might have gotten a bit carried away with the quilting (insert shrug ) but what can I say....


And one more....

And one more thing...

Maybe I should quit and work on the wall hangings but I just can't seem to stop...

My first mug rugs.... Pretty, huh?

Now for the Placemats

Next is the placemats.  I thought they should be blue as I love blue and it is across the colour wheel from orange.



I had this great fabric.  This is the Posh Kitty Shop panel.  The only really girly one.  The other ones are more male and as I am mostly in a houseful of boys. I guess this one is mine....


Now for the tea drinker....

Coffee Cup Wall Hanging

You saw the dishes with the orange stripe.  I had to make another wall hanging using orange as the main colour.  This is going much more quickly than the applique one.

orange, coffee cup, mug

This pattern is from American Patchwork and Quilting (April 1996)  Yes I still have that issue.  I loved this pattern from the first time I saw it.  Finally it's coming to life.

Not all the blocks can be orange, right?
