Sew It – Show It Challenge: Rose Colored Glasses

 

I'm so happy to be participating in another fun challenge, this time hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt.

Here's the list of today's participants:

________________________________________

We've been challenged to create something rose-colored, or rose-related, or glasses-related. I decided to go with roses, but instead of making them "rose-colored" I'm using yellow. I have two projects to share with you.

The first is a 16" wool felt piece that I'm calling "Cottage Rose Table Mat."


It's stitched up in wool felt and embroidery floss, and comes together quickly. If you'd like to create one for yourself, the FREE pattern can be found here.


A note about my FREE patterns: No patterns will be listed as available on my blog after July 2023. (My patterns are currently hosted on server space that I will be discontinuing then.) So if there's anything currently listed that you might be interested in, download it now! After that point, I will still make some patterns available during these challenges, either via email or another method which I am still exploring.

My second project is (are?) no-sew wool felt roses, created from a pattern from the Lia Griffith website. I think they make a nice compliment to the mat.

Sew It – Show It Challenge: Say What?

 


I'm happy to be participating in another fun Sew It – Show It Challenge, this time hosted by Joan from MooseStashQuilting.

Here's the list of today's participants:

This time we were challenged to make something with words or something that told a story. I created a small wool felt applique mat with a very simple message...BLOOM!

Like a lot of other people, I look forward to Spring when flowers start blooming. Sometimes we accelerate things by starting plants in pots. So I decided to grow the word "BLOOM" in some pots to kick Spring off right.


The mat measures 14" x 12" and is quick to stitch up. I made it from wool felt scraps I had in my stash, but you can make it in any colors you wish.

If you'd like to try, here's the link to the FREE pattern.

And speaking of Spring blooms, how about some no-sew felt daffodils? The pattern for these lovelies comes from Lia Griffith.
