Now what to make. I bought this pattern before Christmas and thought it would be a good project.. I guess I missed a step and my little half triangles were to small and since I had over half of them made and only so much fabric I changed my mind on what to make.
So I had to cut my centre panel to a smaller size and dug through all the things that I have copied to find something to fit. I found this free pattern that I thought I would use some day. Well the day came.
I had so many of these little triangles made and I hated to throw them in a box to use later because you know what would of happened then, they would never get used. So I made these little mug rugs.
So still more triangles and decided I would make my friend a Birthday gift to go with these mug rugs.
One Birthday gift off my list to do this year.
As you can see more triangles so made myself four mug rugs for myself. As you can see I was tired of appliqueing and made mine plain.
Now I just want to tell you about my favourite tools that I bought when I got my last sewing machine. I love these, my binding foot and I am not sure what the other foot is called. I have been using my binding foot a lot and haven't sewed a binding on for quite some time. The other one I finally got the chance to use it. I love it. The mug rugs look so nice with this type of stitching. I will be using it more often.
Now if you have made it this far I have a little give away. I am giving away this pattern and hope you have better luck than I did. I will send a couple of tips with it. and another mug rug. That is the end of my triangles. So just leave a comment and a way of reaching you and I will draw at the end of the Hop.
I want to thank Madame Sam and Carol for all their hard work. They do so much. I love their blog and everything they do. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.

ReplyDeleteI love these. I don't know if its the colors or the simplicity, but i just LOVE them. I need to practice my half square triangles. I just can't seem to get them to come out square. Yours look perfect.
ReplyDeleteI loved your project but I am intrigued by that sewing machine foot...the one with the wide plastic sides and red lines. In what way did you use it? Thanks for the giveaway! sewingblogsarefun@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. I am enjoying everyone's projects. I am getting ideas for things I can make. I haven't been sewing long but I would love to make a table runner. Love yours.

those mug rugs and table runner are adorable. Thanks for sharing all your really neat projects.
ReplyDeleteLove the runner and mug rugs. they are so precise looking, i think your work and the combination of the kona makes it work so well. i have a binding foot that i have never used. will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWow..I just adore your table runner and mug rugs...I may copy you idea. Hope you don't mind. They are so neat looking. Thank you for sharing and for deciding to make this runner
ReplyDeleteYour workmanship is fabulous! The table topper, mug rugs and runner are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow you really got lots of Kona solids quilted into very lovely practical projects. Thank you sew much for hopping...
ReplyDeleteThose mugrugs are beautiful! I'm so ready for spring and those make thing of the flowers that will be blooming in a few month.
ReplyDeleteWhat great looking projects you've created. Very nice. You must have a Viking machine (or maybe Pfaff since they do have the same attachments often). That foot you aren't sure of is one I bought a few months ago myself. It's a multi-line decorative foot which is supposed to be used for Omni-motion stitches or other decorative stitches and using the lines on it will help you line things up evenly. I bought that foot myself because it was also going to be perfect to line up straight line stitching on small quilting projects as well.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did! I am in a mug rug swap and thank you for giving me some great ideas of how to make mine so much nicer!
ReplyDeleteLove how you took your lemons and made lemonade. Love all of what you did. Congrats on getting a birthday gift off the list.
ReplyDeleteCute projects. Lovely sunny colors, and how great to knock out a birthday gift for a friend.
ReplyDeleteWay to adapt! And so prolifically! I really adore those sweet mug rugs. Now I want to hop out of bed and make myself a nice cuppa tea and a treat to use one of my own!
ReplyDeleteI see more solids in your future. Nice projects.
ReplyDeleteLovely work as always...Thanks for sharing my friend
ReplyDeleteWell your projects prove that working well with color doesn't mean you only can use the bright end of the palette. Magnificent job and I love how the quilting coordinates to well with the projects!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely projects! You have done a marvelous job. Such nice craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteThose little mug mats are just adorable! You did such a nice job on the table runner and mats. :)

ReplyDeleteYou're right ! If you put those extras in a box they'll never get used....ask me how I know ! Using them up in such a pretty way makes you feel good doesn't it ! I love everything you came up with !
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job and I the mug rugs. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you made use of all your triangles! I shall have to see if I have a binding foot, I usually use my topstitching foot for machine binding, it is concave underneath so it rides over the bulk better.
ReplyDeleteAll your projects are great. Thanks for sharing and the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Everything you made is wonderful! I have never thought of a binding foot, I will have to look into that! Thanks for sharing with us - reading your blog has given me inspiration! I also need to check into your Ho Ho Ho link.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful projects. You did a fantastic job. I love how you turned your idea from one project into multiple projects. The colors are very, very pretty. Thank you for sharing your sewing machine feet, too. I'm sure we all have feet for our machines that we have never used and have no idea what some of them are as well as having no idea what feet are available. Thanks for participating and being a great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty set to brighten your friend's table :)
ReplyDeleteLove the table runner!!
ReplyDeleteI think your interpretation of "still life" is better than the original! I'm sorry it was hard to assemble but it was well worth it, I think. Very pretty, like the colors.
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure made some beautiful work out of that mistake!! Your friend will be over the top, I am sure. I will have to check into those feet. They both look very interesting. Great job on all your projects!!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely projects. You did a great job on all of them. Hope someone deserving won the mug rug and pattern (yes, I know I'm late).
ReplyDeleteLove these sunny, pretty projects!!
