My brilliant friend Kristy of Quiet Play has another great pattern coming out for those of you who enjoy paper piecing. After seeing this Polaroid camera on her blog, I was absolutely charmed, and I was even more thrilled when she let me test it out for her. Discovering that I was out of black fabric didn't stop me -- I pulled out my fat eighth bundle of Architextures (which didn't include the black prints), and decided to go the navy blue route. It's a little busy, but I like it. I threw in a few blocks from the Polaroid block swap I did through Debbie's blog earlier this year, putting it all together to make a good sized mug rug.
The back uses one of the great ledger prints from Architextures. That green strip at the bottom almost makes me think of a composition book.
Add a mug of tea and a few oatmeal cookies, and I'm ready to go...
Linking up to the Let's Get Acquainted Monday Link-up.
You did not really just put cookies on top of that. Right?
ReplyDeleteoh I love this! I saw Kristy's pattern - very fun, especially with our polaroid blocks! Please feel free to add your mug rug to the polaroid flickr group!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I just used some of my fat eighth bundle of Architextures - I'm posting it tomorrow. Oh, and I have that mug - well, with a B.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the cutest mug rug I have ever seen! I don't know how you can bear to put food on it:)
ReplyDeleteOh it looks fantastic Heidi! Love it paired with the Polaroid blocks. Really cute mug rug. Thanks so much for testing it for me!
ReplyDeleteSew cute. I really like the backing fabric ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteSeriously adorable. Ahhhh! I think I need something cute to drink my coffee with in the morning...
ReplyDeletegreat mug rug! love Architextures too!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I like the navy instead of black. It gives a kind of natural dullness/shine that those cameras always had. Super with the polaroid blocks!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome! Great, great piecing and combo of fabrics! And Kristy's pattern is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow-look at that tiny piecing! Love it!
