Christmas Sewing

Here is a purchased tea towel embellished to match a gingerbread man potholder (potholder tutorial here).
For the tea towel, I used the free pattern which can be found at the Fort Worth Quilting Studio.

This design could be incorporated into a cute mug rug.
A Mary Engelbreit storybook quilt.
To make this quilt, I used a panel which was intended to make a cloth book.


Instead I cut out the pages and added red polka dot borders and black polka dot corner stones, in typical Mary Engelbreit style.

For the quilting, I did some wavy lines in the red borders, X's in the black cornerstones, and meandering everywhere else.  And I knew immediately that the binding would be candy cane stripes.
Thank you for stopping by!
