mini-quilt monday

I just found out about mini-quilt Monday today on my google reader thru AmandaJean and Apple Cyder. And Jacquie mentioned it a while back too, when she posted her cute clothesline quilts.

I picked up some Orla Kiely fabric, I mean tablecloths and napkins, at Target on Saturday and am planning on finally opening up my etsy shop. Today I made some mini-mini quilts aka coasters:

These will be for sale later in the week along with some other things, maybe a tote bag, maybe a baby dress, maybe a cute little girl skirt or something. I have a funny idea for part of the huge pear fabric I got.

Just for fun, here's a list of some of the in process projects I've got going on here:
Project Improv quilt bindings (I was given 3 to do and have one left)
blue/red scrap quilt
hourglass quilt
pillows
jeans (darn those jeans, I really need to just buckle down and make them)

and in my mind but not yet started:
baby gifts for 3 different friends
all manner of cute baby clothes for my sweetie
cloth kitchen napkins
shorts for the boys
pin cushion for example for church sewing group

I did finish some things last week and today so I think I'm doing well!

  2. I was thinking, these look like they'd make great/cute hot pads, too! (A little bigger, of course.)

  4. these are lovely. I haven't made a quilt but I think I can attempt a mini quilt with less fear.

  5. Very cute! I have some of the kitchen towels which after washing were not printed on the grain and are very skewed. I just might have to make something like this!
