Small Projects

I recently attended a small retreat for the
management committee of the state guild.
(I'm the membership secretary.)
Our new president set us a challenge of making
a mug rug from fabrics that she brought for us.
This is my mug rug.
I had a pattern with me which I got here.
I turned the snowflake into a flower.
I'm pleased with the result.

 

A few months ago I attended a small workshop.
I made this journal cover.
The yarns got tangled in my darning foot
so I used my decorative stitches instead
of free motion quilting.
 

The back cover.

I'm not sure yet what I'll use the journal for,
but I do enjoy having it.
