One Flower Wednesday

I've been a bad blogger lately.  I'm getting behind on reading your blogs and commenting.  I hope to get caught up with all of you soon.

While looking through my stash for another project, I found a few more pink scraps,

The other project was a Maple leaf block, which I turned into a mini cushion. My plan is to eventually have a little basket for each season, with cross stitches and mini quilty blocks.

I'm not sure I like this as a cushion, because you can't tell what it is.  Would a small border help?   Or should I just 'unstuff' it?

I also stuffed the acorn I stitched a couple of weeks ago.  Not thrilled with it either. 


To wrap up the month, here is the mug rug I made for a swap.  It has now been received on the other side of the country, so it's okay to show you.
This was inspired by a wall hanging made by Paulette over at Sweet P Quilting and Creations.  This is an OPAM for October. 

I haven't finished anything for CTTY the last couple of months, so I'm happy to have this little cushion this month.  Have you noticed I did all small projects this month?  At least they're finished.
And now I must go post some of these projects on other sites, and do some link-ups.  Tomorrow night, I'll be packing for a scrap booking retreat, and then away for the weekend.  See you next month!

Keep on stitching....Sunny
 
finding the 3 of them together is becoming more common!

  2. Great projects, I like the leaf pillow and the acorn and the idea of a basket with little seasonal items in it. I think I may give that a try too.

  6. The nice thing about small projects is that they get done so quickly and you can garner a sense of accomplishment and yours are lovely. Small projects count too! Love the maple leaf, yes maybe a small border would make it pop better. The kitties are so sweet. The two on the left look like my kitties; Miss Lucy the yellow tabby was with me for 19 years before going to Rainbow Bridge, we still have our Tinkerbell, the gray tabby.....

  7. Hey, guess what? You can take as long as you want in between blog posts and commenting on ours. The blog police (which are just a myth anyway) won't come to your house and take away the computer/ipad/smartphone/ etc. You are getting plenty accomplished and that is more important! Me? Just sitting here getting nothing accomplished. I think these shows have done me in this fall! I'm brain dead .......
