French, British and American

Q:  What do you get when you mix

a French-inspired fabric line

with a British mug rug pattern,

featuring the American flag?

A:  THIS fantabulous Stars and Stripes mug rug, 

designed by The Patchsmith,

made up in La Petite Ecole fabrics.

Recently I posted about a custom order

for some pincushions using La Petite Ecole.

Even though I'm late to the French General party,

I'm not leaving any time soon!

I love the way the fabrics lend themselves to Americana.

They were perfect for the stars...

and the stripes!

I had lots of scraps and just stitched them into a

crazy patchwork piece for the backing.

Pretty sweet, huh?

This is just one of over 40 patterns

Amanda has created...so far!

I've always got the Craftsy link on my sidebar,
if you would like to check out
all of the great patterns, projects and classes they offer.

After I made the mug rug,

I decided to make a couple more

Cathedral Window pincushions.

The one with an "e" on it will be mine forever!

{I know - Amy starts with an A...but it's e for eamylove.}

They look so cute on that mug rug.

I had to have one to keep, with the striped background!

It was a design choice I wasn't sure I would like,

but I was thrilled with how it came out.

I used the stripes for both of them, but in different colorways.

I think that "spare" pincushion is going to be listed

in my shop on Etsy, eamylove.

{SOLD - maybe I should make more?}

These are the prints I used on the backs of the pincushions.

I love using those ABC's for covered buttons

and I'm thinking of making some extras for sale.

Wouldn't they be fun?

I'm in the mood for more custom orders,

if anyone needs a nice Mother's Day present!

{I've got a few more fabric lines in my stash, if you have something different in mind.}
