Midweek Update

I made enough scrappy Christmas four patches last week to sew up three quilted items.  Small, smaller, smallest!

Placemat - 12 X 16 inches, 

mug rug - 8 X 10, 

and a tiny pincushion - about 3 inches square

All the backings came from the Christmas scrap drawer, too.  Aren't these snowpeople cute?!  And snow cats and dogs - love them!

The placemat is already in use on our table between the recliners.  This spot gets lots of use with coffee, wine, snacks, etc., so these placemats are washed and dried frequently.  It's always fun to have fresh new one!

The mug rug will probably be a gift for a friend, with a mug and some hot cocoa mix added in.  The pincushion will become part of the gift for my quilt group Christmas gift exchange that is happening tomorrow.   I made the pillow way back in July during Melva's Christmas in July blog hop!

Are the Christmas scraps all used up?  Of course not!  I wonder what else I can make with them - I'll have to dig in and do some more thinking about that.
