Welcome June!

Beautiful June is here!

The flowers are blooming and the scent in the air is fabulous!
I love that summer is starting and it's not too hot yet. 
It's a great time to relax and enjoy creating some new projects.

I took some of my artwork to make this "June" calendar. 
The yellow bird has a little "Love" banner in his beak.
Download the desktop calendar here. The pink area is perfect for your computer icon area.

Home is where your Cat is!

This is my BRAND NEW pattern of: Frisky kitty cats- Embroidery ornaments & bowl fillers pattern #426

Stitch up some super quick & unique ornaments or bowl fillers ... 8 designs in one.
There are Cats with toys, food, animals, flowers and a birthday party.
They make great gifts and look amazing sitting on a little shelf or hanging on a tree.... unstuffed makes a great wearable pin.

Isn't this sweet as a package topper!

It's easy to stitch...and just adding a border strip of fabric really adds to it.

I love cats so much!
I am making a dog set next!

Each have a cute ribbon loop to attach your small scissors to it and decorative star pins.

*******Plus....this pattern comes with a link to an exclusive video tutorial I made....just for you******

This makes great use of all your cool specialty fabrics!

I made a turkey coffee mug rug for November....
You can make your own!
I have been dying to use this turkey fabric I had....but never did anything with it....until now,
I chose the coordinating fabric....just scraps and whipped it up!

It was easy....I did it at night when I should have went to bed....my eyes weren't the best...lol

Here is a diagram to give you an idea of how it goes together. 

Here is some general instructions:
Use a 1/4" seam allowance. Use the chart above.
  Sew the featured fabric (turkey) next to 3 strips of coordinating fabric.
Press well. Sew 1" strips all the way around. It is a good idea for the fabric border strips to be the same as the backing fabric.  It makes the strips resemble quilt binding.  Cut excess fabric and press. Layer batting and backing fabric (slightly larger than top) then lay top over backing (right sides together).  Pin in place. Sew 1/4"  around mug rug leaving a 3" opening. Turn inside out. Sew opening closed. Quilt squiggle circles through the featured fabric...and also quilt down strips and around the borders. 

I printed the diagram out so I could have it near me for referencing.
