Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
I'm so happy to be participating in another fun hop, this time brought to us by Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks. Here's the list of today's participants:

Elizabeth Coughlin Designs (you're here)
_______________________________________________
The theme of this hop is the color pink, and I've created a small project featuring that color. It's a 12" candle mat (or a mat for vase, or a cup of tea) that I'm calling "Pretty Polish Candle Mat." It's sewn up in woolfelt and embroidery floss, and comes together quickly.
The background is pink and the polish bottles are shades of red, purple, lavender, and magenta with blue tops. If you'd like to make one for yourself, or for a girl/lady who loves to polish her nails, here's a link to the FREE pattern.

I love your creativity Elizabeth. I don't have wool for creating, but I'm wondering how this might work with cotton. I may have to try it out.Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou could do it as raw-edge applique with cotton, but would have to figure out how to finish off the scallop edge. Or, you could do the same design on a circle to make it easier!
DeleteLove your mat! I am allergic to would but I think it would be easy enough to just use cottons.
ReplyDeleteAs I posted above, you could do it as raw-edge applique with cotton, but would have to figure out how to finish off the scallop edge. Or, you could do the same design on a circle to make it easier!
DeleteVery cute! How fun to have that on your table! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little wool mat. I know some girls who love their nail polish and would get a kick out of this fun project! Thanks for sharing the pattern with us.

ReplyDeleteI love this, Elizabeth. What a great gift it would make. I'm thinking if I did it in cotton, it would be a great item to protect my floor when I'm giving myself a pedicure. Thank you for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter is such a nail polish lover and collector - at just 8 yrs old no less. She would love this for her little desk.

ReplyDeletea great idea
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute mat. I don't wear nail polish, but I love the little bottles. In fact I keep my Fray Block (by June Tailor) in a nail polish bottle (I bought empty) so I can paint it on stuff that might fray. Thanks for the pattern too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute candle mat. I miss being able to paint my nails, or even have nails, but a big no no when working in the bakery. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely project and perfect for this blog hop! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! It stiched up beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to talk myself into trying wool applique. I've got a bunch of wool left from my medieval reenactment days. LOL
ReplyDeleteElizabeth I always enjoy seeing your hop projects. Your imagination inspires me. I can see making this beauty for the girlie girls in my family to hold their polish collections or a treasured trinket. Thank you for sharing another wonderful pattern.
