As I was finishing up with purple this week, I decided to cut a couple 2.5 inch squares out of each of my favorite prints of the month.
It was easy to hand-piece them into this little patchwork mini, and I finished it off with some hand quilting. The binding is just the backing folded around to the front and stitched down.
I've made a series of these, starting last fall, with seasonal prints or colors of the month. They all measure about 6 x 8, except for the Christmas one, which started with some bowtie blocks from the orphan drawer. It was made with 3 inch blocks, so about 9 x 12.
So, now the angels have their own purple quilt!
Meanwhile, I'm back to the teacup embroidery design. Now working on little pink flowers and a sweet bee.

Wow…you’ve added lots of stitches to your embroidery and it’s looking very pretty! Fun RSC projects too. I guess we are pulling out our orange scraps in August.
Your embroidery is coming right along and looking great.

Your embroidery is so cute. It is looking more beautiful each new week as you are adding new stitches to it. Those mini quilts are lovely. Are you hand piecing them?
Both wonderful projects! Love the stitchery. I do admire you for being able to hand quilt, I cannot do that.

I adore the little hand pieced, hand quilted mats! I just bought some yardage of the Tula fabric you used for the purple mat backing - I love it! And your embroidery is just beautiful!
