Lets get ready for giving!

 

Winter Barn

 

I love love love the holidays. I love making gifts. I hope you do too. In fact, I would love to encourage everyone to get creative this holiday season. Don't fret about perfection or think someone won't like what you make. When it comes to handmade gifts, it truly is the thought that counts. 

If you don't sew or don't have the time, let me help. I have been making mug rugs and mini quilts lately and I'm really loving the whole process. If you do sew, well I think you should try to make some too. Its pretty much a quilt block with batting binding. I use Unsul-Fleece. It contains a reflective layer inside the batting, which helps reflect heat back into your coffee cup. It also provides a bit of water proofing so if you spill, your table stays nice and dry. My mug rugs are machine washable and dryable too!

I think these would also make cute little quilted wall hangings. A little sticky velcro on the back would make hanging easy as pie. 

The above mug rug, Winter Farm is available in my Fiberluscious shop on Etsy. I love these colors. They are perfect for the holiday or when you just want some country charm in your day.

Churn Dash

This little Churn Dash cutie is my newest mug rug. I just love the colors. The churn dash block is an old favorite of mine and many others. In fact, I saw Jenny Doan from Missouri Quilt Company make a larger version of the churn dash on Triple Play.

Don't you just just love watching the Missouri Star Quilt Company You Tube channel. I keep it on while I sew. Those talented ladies have amazing ideas, they know all the tricks of the trade and they are incredibly inventive. Check them out. They are looking for a million subscribers. Isn't that amazing? 

I have a few other mug rugs and hope to add some holiday versions soon. Here is a cute little neighborhood with Little Houses. This is one of my own paper pieced patterns. 

Little Houses

Here is an easy, Postage Stamp block, a classic pattern I love to make. 

Postage Stamp

I quilt each block by machine and hand finish my bindings because I just love them so. A little hand work makes everything a bit more special. I make all my items to be both functional, beautiful and durable. When you support my shop, I want you to be thrilled with your purchase.

I hope you stop by my Fiberluscious shop and see all I have to offer. I am working on some holiday items. Of course, you can find the best pincushions on Etsy because each one has an emery core. I also add some love into everything I make. That goes without saying.

Did you know that every order is gift wrapped? I use the prettiest tissue and a big tulle bow on every order. If you need holiday wrap, I have that too! I have 5 by 5 inch gift boxes that fit most of my pincushions and boxy clip pouches. I'll send one free with your order. Just ask!
