We had a monthly challenge of making something with a Valentines theme and in my normal way of managing to skip important bits in emails/posts, I only discovered there was a challenge last week!
I went small and simple and made a mug rug.

The other exciting news for last week was the arrival of my Mouthy Stitches swap pouch. My pouch came all the way over the pond from the lovely Karen of Laughter in quilts.
It is a fantastic mix of hexies and linen and is now the perfect home for all my hand quilting bits and bobs. Inside there is a zippered pocket and the funkiest of lining and it was full to bursting with some fantastic scraps.
Thank you so much Karen, I love it!!!

Lovely to meet you today, Kelly, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your fab creations over the coming months!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly - nice to meet you today at the meeting. Loved your take on the February challenge and can't wait to see your March challenge block! I follow your blog - it is great! See you in April. Amy from www.craftyshenanigans.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteThe meeting sounds wonderful - love your MR! Karen's pouch (well, your pouch!) is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGet the sticky donut off the beautiful mug rug!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your Guilding fun ladies.
Glad you got such a lovely pouch xxx
Gorgeous pouch you received - that lining is yummy. Great to meet you today too!
ReplyDeleteLucky you being near a modern quilt guild. Mug rug is cool and your pouch is lovely. Where do you get your hand quilting thread from, the colours are lovely?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great meeting, and lots of really good meetings in the future!
ReplyDeleteLovely pouch too, I'm still waiting for mine!
You are not alone in procrastination, whether intentional or not. :) I have to come up with something for our upcoming guild meeting. Sure I've had two months, but there's nothing like the pressure of weeks and days! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear about Paris! Let this Texan live vicariously through you! :)
Love the mug rug (and the doughnut!!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great pouch too!
