It feels like I haven't been finishing too many quilting projects here lately, so it feels really nice to have a ta-dah moment!
The circles are appliqued on, and I used a variegated perle cotton to hand quilt it. I still am in love with Rachel's pattern for this. This is the most fun to hand quilt and following the shapes of the interlocking circles makes it interesting to work on. The fabrics are a mix of scraps from my stash plus a tiny bit of FMF, and the binding is a Hope Valley print.
I got a little picture of my new label in action for you too. These are double sided. I'm really happy with how they turned out, I got them here.
Hope you're having a good weekend! I have a great giveaway on Monday, so don't forget to pop in to visit then.
Love the mug rug! You used some of my favorite fabrics and definitely my favorite kind of stitching!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of getting labels like these instead of sewing labels onto my quilts. I just didn't know where to find them. Thanks for the link! Which size were the ones you have and were they easy to sew into the seam?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Sarah!! Thanks again for the mention. I love your labels too, very cute!

ReplyDeleteHey Sarah! I'm so glad you were able to use my blog header tutorial. I love your blog header! Glad you left a comment so I could find your blog because I love it!! I don't have too much time to quilt..but I want to make a t-shirt quilt this year. Seems like with my little people, I don't have time to sit at the machine, but I should just quilt by hand the old fashioned way!

ReplyDeleteLove this! You have inspired me to try some variegated thread for my next hand stitching projects. I've been meaning to get some but seeing this cuteness has me going to order some after I finish this comment.
