Tutorial - How to Make a Reversible Quilted Mug Rug

Terrific!

Reversible Quilted Mug Rug Tutorial at Stitching by Starlight
"So in the spirit of giving back (and goodness knows I owe plenty considering all the freebies I've downloaded), I present to you my very first tutorial. It's on my Central Park mug rug, which I adore. This is the first mug rug I made as part of Two More Seconds "Mug Rug Madness". The original inspiration was from the tutorial by A Cup and A Catchup, which is where I got the idea for the stripes and adding wording.

It was simple and fun - and I hope this will inspire you to make one, too..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Mini Mosaic Quilt

Fabulous and looks like a lot of fun to make!

Mini Mosaic Quilt Tutorial at SewHappy.Me
"I have used YLI Jeans Stitch thread, which is nice and thick and shows up the quilting very nicely. I have quilted through each of the mosaic shapes, just inside the shapes (to secure them) and in the black spaces between the mosaics and you will see that on some occasions I have two (or sometimes three) lines of quilting. It is very random and the amount of lines of stitching I have used depends on the amount of black space available..." Read more

To make this quilt, you will need a layer cake and 2 yards of a solid fabric - hence the name 1+2.

"An extensive search on the internet began for the perfect label. It had to be small and inconspicuous, but contain all the pertinent information. It had to be reversible – my name and blog on one side, care info on the other. Everything I found was either on twill tape or the edges weren’t finished to my satisfaction. I don’t like fraying!!
It wasn’t until I was putting on a shirt one day that I happened to look at the label on the neckline. Ye-gads, there it was! I took that label apart right there and then. A quilt care label was born..." Read more
