Mollie Makes!!!

I was beyond giddy to be asked by Mollie Makes to contribute instructions for my clammy pouch. I am sure you have seen this zippy case in many of my pictures here and on IG. This little pouch is very near and dear to my heart because it includes bits of my very favorite fabrics!

 

 

You will find the instructions in Mollie Makes Issue 57 which went on sale in the UK this week! I suspect it will be in the US in a few weeks.

 

You can bet I will be hunting down a few copies! 

 

 

I love working with hand applique projects and the clamshell shape is one of my favorites. Plus the extra-special wonderful thing is...the size of your pouch can be easily adjusted...make it larger or make it smaller!

 

I made another using many of the fabrics from our Sunny Day Supply shop and a wee bit of fabric from my sweet friend Janelle! She knows me so well :)

 

 

     And Tiger Lily (which we have in the shop at a GREAT price!) is perfect for this little project!

 

 

Have a lovely Monday! I will be back soon to share with you my progress on the Spring Fever blocks!

A Patchwork Cozy....

Last year I was asked to contribute a couple of projects to the new Mollie Makes Patchwork book...

I was thrilled to be asked to contribute and, once I jumped into the project, I thoroughly loved the process of creating and writing!

 

 

One of my projects is a Dresden Tea Cozy. 

This weekend I couldn't wait to work with some of the new fabrics that arrived...so I decided to switch up the tea cozy a bit and make it a Hexie Tea Cozy!

Fussy cutting Ayumi's new line of fabric for Kokka was so much fun!

Oh, how I LOVE this fabric! It's called Lighthearted and it makes me lightheaded when I work with it...in a good way, of course! hehe! Can you tell I am kind of smitten with it?

I chose a Yuwa Honeycomb dot for the background....the fabrics work so nicely together...

Following the same instructions for the Dresden Cozy....I quicky stitched up a Hexie Cozy!  How perfect would this be for a house warming gift or a bridal shower gift?  Or maybe for a bloggy friend?

Speaking of bloggy friends...

I received a lovely red and aqua felted heart swag from someone very near and dear to me....

 

Thank you so much, Susan!  I 'heart' you!!!  I can't imagine being able to felt those shapes so perfectly!  Crazy talented that girl!  

  Hope you had a very special Valentine's Day!
