{Since I've gone back to work fulltime, I've cut back on monthly commitments.}


as this month's theme.
She has taken this table decor project
to new heights, adding seasonal applique details!

There's no need to stick to the rectangular shape.
Susie used wintery scraps to make
a mitten-shaped pouch!

You might have seen the Flatware Pouches
{and matching placemats}
I've made from Terry's Fabrics home dec prints,


Yesterday I managed to whip up a new set
of flatware pouches,
using regular quilting cotton
and a touch of lace.

I used 1/2 yard each of two coordinates
from an older Moda line by 3 Sisters...
Aster Manor.

{Pretty for any season, actually!}


{Like The Patchsmith, I added fusible fleece to the back of the outer fabric,
to add stability.}

  1. This pretty little pouch would look good on the breakfast tray on Mom's birthday, Mothering Sunday or when recuperating. And so many excellent links.
