I’ve been working on these for a couple of days now, and I just finished my last two. One side is a cupcake, and the other side is a flip flop. I think they are just too cute! I did the applique with a regular sewing machine, but next time I think I’ll use an embroidery machine. You know, lately I’ve been trying to work on smaller projects besides quilts, because I want a few things that I can do in one sitting, versus a quilt taking a week. You know?
I’ve been playing around with some of the newer notions we got in at work, and I saw these pre-cut interfacing pieces for place mats, and I just could not help myself! I made a reversible one. One side is fall, and one side is summer! What do you think? I think my next one will be one side Thanksgiving, and one side Christmas! For the applique leaf, I used gold polyester lace I had stashed somewhere in my sewing room. The edge was satin stitched with an over-edge foot, so they are super washable!
