TGIFF - Birthday Gift Mug Rugs

I have a small finish this week -- a couple of mug rugs for a birthday gift.

My cousin loved the tiger print, so I just put a solid border around the print.

She loved them, which proves that a good gift doesn't have to be fancy or complicated.

I finally quilted my Posh Santa wall hanging that I pieced in 2021.  Santa finishes 28 x 38 inches.

I needed to practice free-motion quilting on my Babylock Accomplish, so I used several different motifs.  My swirls need a little more practice, but I was pleased with the overall results.

This will go to my mother as a Christmas gift.

Morris Mist Fabric Blog Hop

Have you seen the new signature Island Batik fabric collection -- Morris Mist -- for Sherry @ Powered by Quilting?  I was honoured to have been asked to participate in the blog hop showcasing the collection.

I played around in EQ8 using the Arrowhead block.  This is a large sized baby quilt at 46 inches.

(It's hard to get photos in the morning before work, and then it's dark after work.  I can't wait for spring.)

I used Aurifil #2309 Silver White thread.  It blended in so well with both the front and the back.

I couldn't decide on a quilting plan, and the quilt was pinned to the frame before I settled on free-motion quilted flowers and loops.

I also added my name in the bottom corner.

I finished piecing the top at Sewtopia Nashville early in November.  The Warm Company generously donated batting.  I'm so glad I took a piece -- cotton batting is sooooooooo very soft.

If you haven't already done so, head over to Sherry's blog to enter her giveaway.

TGIFF - Canvas Pencil Pouches

Welcome to this week's edition of Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.  TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finish from this week.  You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.

I decided to make the Canvas Pencil Pouch by Noodlehead for my nieces for Christmas (to hold the pencils I bought them).  I paired a fun alphabet print with Kona Magenta and Candy Pink for the exterior.

The tutorial calls for a 10" zipper, which I have never seen in Canada.  So I used a long zipper and cut off the ends.

I used Kona Bellini for the interior of the pouches.  Since I don't know how long a 10" zipper is with the extra tape on each end, I lined up my longer zipper to each end, which resulted in the curved ends.  It doesn't affect the use of the pouch.
