something green or something with apples...or both! I made two small projects. The first is a no-sew felt clover plant. The pattern comes from the website <a href="https://liagriffith.com/" target="_blank">Lia Griffith</a>. I have a subscription with them, and I've made a lot of fun felt stuff including fruits & veggies, plants, flowers, and animals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the potted clover I made, perfect for the green theme and for St. Patrick's Day if you celebrate it:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRTzmoWwYH3ORMsEOcqT6hVTlHaRcX1L_-oIsvWnJNAvfGNXpI7nv30VKQxCk37mLVpf8dMfEmOiPcA8iDg2o5eMO6-2I8nv72cCpG46SWCyw2ePbsGNFotI5tJ2dKTADYNVYKW82A2RpsqX3Z38tgnJQHMtvLBlJ9utGMEoxgMED7XujFYBCRRZ28/s1728/cloverfinal.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1728" data-original-width="1728" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRTzmoWwYH3ORMsEOcqT6hVTlHaRcX1L_-oIsvWnJNAvfGNXpI7nv30VKQxCk37mLVpf8dMfEmOiPcA8iDg2o5eMO6-2I8nv72cCpG46SWCyw2ePbsGNFotI5tJ2dKTADYNVYKW82A2RpsqX3Z38tgnJQHMtvLBlJ9utGMEoxgMED7XujFYBCRRZ28/w400-h400/cloverfinal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I actually enlarged the pattern 150% because the original was a bit too small to work with imo.

Rather than depicting music
itself via notes, etc. I decided to represent a specific piece of music. I
quickly settled on the classical piece by Vivaldi titled <b>“The Four Seasons.”</b>
It’s a beautiful group of four violin concertos that were composed around
1718−1720 by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. There are many renditions of
it on You Tube for you to listen to at your leisure. A selection from the
“Spring” concerto was played as part of my wedding ceremony, so it holds a
special meaning for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once I had decided on the musical piece, I had to figure out
how to represent the four seasons in fabric. I recently bought a bench for the
front foyer of my house and thought it needed a pillow to dress it up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVuKkH7xrbcEVAEYKtSNPU-Ywfbaao4GebIfCFoMJrw1mgVIxvVMnH7sZ4O1v9bn0YvTD3DTZxnWYk85q5kFBgEPdOTUqJi6bKru-st9AmAf7fVyGFchVC0gAKpxDwNiyOY2eHKTyDlts-cNxc1G03p66P_yvRRvVLkmWfhC8QkSsBIWzcq8QXj2U/s720/bench.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVuKkH7xrbcEVAEYKtSNPU-Ywfbaao4GebIfCFoMJrw1mgVIxvVMnH7sZ4O1v9bn0YvTD3DTZxnWYk85q5kFBgEPdOTUqJi6bKru-st9AmAf7fVyGFchVC0gAKpxDwNiyOY2eHKTyDlts-cNxc1G03p66P_yvRRvVLkmWfhC8QkSsBIWzcq8QXj2U/s320/bench.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So then I thought I’d be a good idea to make one pillow and then
make four interchangeable sleeves/wraps to go around it, one for each of the four seasons of the year. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rather than finding a fabric for the pillow itself that would work for all the
seasons, (which might have been tricky,) I decided to make a two-sided pillow
with fabrics that would complement two seasons each. Here’s the 14” x 25” pillow,
made from orange and blue ginghams:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoIsvY1AfR9ABIMJUSkM_YiU9CrnIzpPUP5OJS78U_XxdocVDg1A4d_BgPTOSvkey45PKxoSpKmBxZTC0SqJklR0BAvIgtMR36e1ef9vFy6Fd751SZXZTEJckmhiG_hcmR8nBjQy6uzQLu4cZv0XomQ0Jt5L8PS6x4EsGJqwHCmx_ZQ1E8GsKvT3X/s4032/IMG_1010.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoIsvY1AfR9ABIMJUSkM_YiU9CrnIzpPUP5OJS78U_XxdocVDg1A4d_BgPTOSvkey45PKxoSpKmBxZTC0SqJklR0BAvIgtMR36e1ef9vFy6Fd751SZXZTEJckmhiG_hcmR8nBjQy6uzQLu4cZv0XomQ0Jt5L8PS6x4EsGJqwHCmx_ZQ1E8GsKvT3X/w200-h150/IMG_1010.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ZP6WQiuk-Borzuaxehk1g3UBR8pu6xOSPIqYzeNTvzSZPNmkqzIfMitTYANguHJ3oRv6-17Acg52G0MZmF17cxDJ4HLN6HA1CCdGWI-cH_M3Reb0ak9Yj52CJIs8gfXAvWruEa8B0FoPGDZVptoSXkSsQ2acdPXXKHJjXIv3AKyy6mzeOiUDXGoH/s4032/IMG_1011.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ZP6WQiuk-Borzuaxehk1g3UBR8pu6xOSPIqYzeNTvzSZPNmkqzIfMitTYANguHJ3oRv6-17Acg52G0MZmF17cxDJ4HLN6HA1CCdGWI-cH_M3Reb0ak9Yj52CJIs8gfXAvWruEa8B0FoPGDZVptoSXkSsQ2acdPXXKHJjXIv3AKyy6mzeOiUDXGoH/w200-h150/IMG_1011.JPG" width="200" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The pillow wraps are fastened around the pillow with sew-in

I recently found a box of hardly-used cotton tablecloths in my basement. I thought I could upcycle one of them for my travel projects.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My husband and I don't travel much, and when we do it's only for a weekend road trip. He does most of the driving because his car is too big for me to drive (I can't see over the hood lol), and my small car is too uncomfortable for him to sit in for too long! So while I'm sitting in the passenger seat, it's nice to have a pillow to rest my neck and head on. My first project is a travel pillow:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFV31HqGODqk3ZmK1oOBR-grH1i1zG_Su472og4rAAUVeUL25lDNhT3kYbmZGZvBbLtPHg31ktl7WpPq8IxnP4s0mTYBP1gt2tVFzwAegOrM6QbGoBysZCD0nzhYkgU1SjjlyCMZkF_bl5WozOKhESK4awrLISNTlM8SpWXQUKWjbQhNnHY1I1ka_o/s1728/travelpillow.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1315" data-original-width="1728" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFV31HqGODqk3ZmK1oOBR-grH1i1zG_Su472og4rAAUVeUL25lDNhT3kYbmZGZvBbLtPHg31ktl7WpPq8IxnP4s0mTYBP1gt2tVFzwAegOrM6QbGoBysZCD0nzhYkgU1SjjlyCMZkF_bl5WozOKhESK4awrLISNTlM8SpWXQUKWjbQhNnHY1I1ka_o/s320/travelpillow.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found the pattern for the travel pillow on Pinterest, and you can find it <a href="https://sewverycrafty.com/diy-travel-neck-pillow/" target="_blank">here.</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other item I thought would be very useful is a shoe bag.

Last year, I participated in a quilt "row along." The theme was "Seaside Adventure." I designed and sewed a quilt row titled "Turtle Trek". I always intended to make a second version of the row in the form of a wool felt wall hanging. I'd already cut out the applique pieces but hadn't gone further than that. This hop gave me the perfect impetus to finish that project!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's the original quilt row.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8LayjwhNvdErU5fqXdd3eS_oEloLLe2tNDmJa6U1YjHhvkzNv11phicDVweOSndRZA0XJxckN8r700py92zmBqXTH13n0cHipqDTiYMDw_0PFbNeUd2u0ig4F3MJW4OvLEiJ1ofnU2Fhxu2YSh91seZbOeuq4JPO0_9JvfEfHecXFUW_Z7HvHwotT/s2405/finalsewnrowfinalphoto.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="992" data-original-width="2405" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8LayjwhNvdErU5fqXdd3eS_oEloLLe2tNDmJa6U1YjHhvkzNv11phicDVweOSndRZA0XJxckN8r700py92zmBqXTH13n0cHipqDTiYMDw_0PFbNeUd2u0ig4F3MJW4OvLEiJ1ofnU2Fhxu2YSh91seZbOeuq4JPO0_9JvfEfHecXFUW_Z7HvHwotT/w400-h165/finalsewnrowfinalphoto.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://ecoughlindesigns.blogspot.com/2021/09/seaside-adventure-row-along-turtle-trek.html" target="_blank">Here's the link to the original row along.</a> If you're interested in the free row pattern, you can find it there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here is my finished wool felt wall hanging (laying on a table; not yet hanging on a wall!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS7jGJVZJ9z-lBpHTxIf7CNH2rxI-OYDksw1eOWbfE6V8G_WyAnaea15EVfI0J-29YKxE6poISI85-AzE2Y5OL-kFR9HK03yaCsCXD2NKN3KuWGUw6oDcyr-G2ksUDzAy-UvLlX8EvAAGqa9AuZtD06YEh0vVgeVDIKBJH8BzZzU77SbC0p95iXzPE/s3500/finalturtletrekWF.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1307" data-original-width="3500" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS7jGJVZJ9z-lBpHTxIf7CNH2rxI-OYDksw1eOWbfE6V8G_WyAnaea15EVfI0J-29YKxE6poISI85-AzE2Y5OL-kFR9HK03yaCsCXD2NKN3KuWGUw6oDcyr-G2ksUDzAy-UvLlX8EvAAGqa9AuZtD06YEh0vVgeVDIKBJH8BzZzU77SbC0p95iXzPE/w400-h149/finalturtletrekWF.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I joined the "blocks" together with penny stacks.

Then I saw that a lot of the coloring pages contain mandalas. If you're not familiar with mandalas, here's a bit of a description from the <a href="https://www.dummies.com/article/academics-the-arts/art-architecture/drawing/general-drawing/what-are-mandalas-139717" target="_blank">"Dummies" website</a>:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #e9dec4; font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: left;">"A </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">mandala</i><span style="text-align: left;"> is a spiritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism. It's a symbolic representation of the universe with an inner and outer world. The word </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: left;">mandala</i><span style="text-align: left;"> comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Literally mandala means "circle." The circle is seen as a magical form, without beginning and end, just as the universe is believed to have no end."</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #e9dec4; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #e9dec4; text-align: left;">Next, I searched for Mandalas that could be converted into fabric, and I settled on a very simple one that <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/572168327674629532/" target="_blank">you can find here.</a> <i>(If the link doesn't take you directly to the pin with the mandala, I can email the image to you.

The final piece measures approximately 15.5" square.

As most of you know, I primarily work in wool felt applique, and I'm not that experienced in quilting. I've never attempted the hourglass block before this hop, and it took me a few tries to get the hang of it. When I did, I created four 4.5" hourglass blocks. Then, I tried to figure out what to do with them, or if I wanted to make more. I did a lot of online searching, and finally decided to use my hourglasses to make a 12.5" Ohio Star block.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL30ne9J4dxEyDTlPcCwRi4o43IB7or5U98i2jpNeqPFG8kzHQkw9Ywhp5H9lbdV9Ah5kgriUaoEvXREjojp_RVdK7oUSgZWS9o1d0TjWLAKhBmzon8hUioVeoI-U-_SLJLYCV4HQjc3YOYQ9tONOXWbx28OHYI56EE_suMA9BnHloizc36v0tThsv/s2500/ohiostar.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="2500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL30ne9J4dxEyDTlPcCwRi4o43IB7or5U98i2jpNeqPFG8kzHQkw9Ywhp5H9lbdV9Ah5kgriUaoEvXREjojp_RVdK7oUSgZWS9o1d0TjWLAKhBmzon8hUioVeoI-U-_SLJLYCV4HQjc3YOYQ9tONOXWbx28OHYI56EE_suMA9BnHloizc36v0tThsv/s320/ohiostar.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then my new plan was to turn the block into a pillow for my office.

They cannot be laundered like cotton ones. They will shrink in warm/hot water, and can't handle a lot of agitation in a machine. They can be hand washed in cold water, or spot cleaned. Most of my designs could also be made as raw-edge applique in cotton. Just quilt and bind them after doing the applique like you would any cotton mug rug.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">******************************</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And now, the project I did specifically for this hop!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see from the above projects, I usually work in wool applique. But I also enjoy hand-piecing and English Paper Piecing upon occasion. For my mug rug, I did EPP with apple core shapes measuring 1.5" wide and 2" tall. They were definitely more challenging to sew together than hexagons, (my usual go-to for EPP), but I enjoyed the exercise! After I had sewn a bunch together (using scrap fabric), I decided to applique them to a wool felt backing, and then added another backing piece behind that. The applique, and stitching around the outside of the mug rug, are done with embroidery floss and a blanket stitch. The final apple core mug rug measures 10" square.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcREHOxAtcmjsuTIWibiphBuuy1qFs4T5HNzrxArSY8IAizkfeymcKbpHNdahe-E5tkIdJbc-mEKWAJKrISg1x7BjYYHmKrqz8b-KtwiY178x2bhOVv4Y970Vgxdw_lBT8_7kzWYS7gY/s2048/applecoreMR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2020" data-original-width="2048" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcREHOxAtcmjsuTIWibiphBuuy1qFs4T5HNzrxArSY8IAizkfeymcKbpHNdahe-E5tkIdJbc-mEKWAJKrISg1x7BjYYHmKrqz8b-KtwiY178x2bhOVv4Y970Vgxdw_lBT8_7kzWYS7gY/w400-h395/applecoreMR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRvjyWMCf3wfDDIrjZzU_OqgKfBJZ2aiQBpL60ME8Oadw1F2f9EZ3VUFSthbxUX2Br1ol_28K7zLk4jg7rTCkIQG63UCqwwRHoOHJRHgL0Biw5w3M4EVAzhwcqCtDQQ-sccx2EjLqd4pM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1002" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRvjyWMCf3wfDDIrjZzU_OqgKfBJZ2aiQBpL60ME8Oadw1F2f9EZ3VUFSthbxUX2Br1ol_28K7zLk4jg7rTCkIQG63UCqwwRHoOHJRHgL0Biw5w3M4EVAzhwcqCtDQQ-sccx2EjLqd4pM/w320-h320/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div></div><span style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">******************************</div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I enjoy reading your comments, and will respond via email unless you are a No Reply Blogger.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally, be sure to visit everyone participating in this great hop!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p>
