I've got lots of WIPs going (and strewn around the living/sewing room), but here are a couple completed projects and a new quilt block.

The patriotic table runner and coffee cozy are Christmas gifts. I've since finished the coffee cozy, but that picture came out blurry. It fits a typical disposable coffee cup perfectly and will be accompanied by a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks giftcard. The embroidery is in a sage-ish green, matching the inside/back material. Sadly these pictures make the colors look dreary and dull...but hopefully you get the idea.

And here's a new quilt block. I love the colors! I don't like the pattern on the ivory fabric (and I don't have enough for the whole quilt anyhow) so I'll be buying some solid ivory soon. My FIL will be making me a 3 1/2" plexiglass stencil to make the fussycut center easier. I'm also looking for a good burgundy/wine color fabric that coordinates too, but I think I'm off to a good start. :)

Pretty table runner! Like the cup cozy too. I like the pattern on the ivory fabric.

I love everything! You've been busy!

I'm planning on it being a twin sized quilt for a future guest room or little girls room (neither of which do I have at the moment :wink: ). It's destined to be a WIP for a long time.

Your runner is beautiful! What is the name of your quilt design? I like your choice of colors.

beautiful work Sunshine!!!

The block you made is very sweet!

What a beautiful block! Pink and green are my favorite colors. :D

The pattern for the quilt block is found here: http://quilterscache.com/Q/QuatrefoilsBlock.html

I first saw it here http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/9912.page and decided to use some fabric I'd gotten a few years ago.

You do lovely work :D

Love them all. Very nice work.

You have been really busy. I think your mom is going to be tickled to death with the table runner. The tea cozy for your dad is a nice idea too-men are so hard to shop for. Great job on all your projects.

Wow--excellent!! You pick nice stuff!! Then you make nice stuff!! What's the runner pattern called?

Would you mind if I "steal" your idea? My daughter would simply love the table runner..... :?:

lovely, i am sure all your gifts will be gratefully received and i like your idea of the coffee cozy and also giving coffee vouchers. I also like all your color choices.

Wow how did I miss you joining us? Great job and a belated welcome! :oops: :lol: :-)

I lofe the table runner and the coffee cozy but the block is awesome. I could see an entire quilt there easily. Do you design blocks often?

Wow! That is realy nice. What a great idea.

Very nice and I love the block just the way it is.

Haha - of course not! Esp since I "stole" the idea from my quilt shop. :) I'll get back to you, barnbum, with the pattern name. It was very easy to put together.

Welcome from VA. Great job on everything!

I like them all. Great Job!

Don't you just love this pattern? It's so easy.

You did a wonderful job on it and the colors too!

those are all great!! what did you use to line the tea cozy? Did you use regular batting or something special for the heat? I have thought about making some of those as well and giving as small gifts with gift card as well. I saw a kit a Connecting threads for cup cozy's that was pretty too. I may order a kit just to have the pattern and idea on hand.

The table runner is really nice! which pattern did you use??

Renae in CA :D

Love the floral in the center, and your colors are perfect!

Yes, I used regular batting. And I didn't buy a kit or pattern, just grabbed an extra cardboard holder thingie from Starbucks. Laid it flat, added a 1/4" seam allowance, sewed (with right sides together and batting on top) around leaving a gap and turned right side out. I've seen some with fun floral materials on both sides, or with a person's name embroidered on a solid fabric...the possibilities are endless. :)
