Never To Early

I've started thinking about this year's Church Bazaar. It never seems to early to start making quilts for a cause. I have a couple of ideas in the works for this year. The message mats and quilts in a jar I made last year were a big hit, so I'm expanding on those ideas again. I've made a couple of message mats and have some smaller quilts in a jar under construction. I'm thinking of a wall hanging with a message and some Art Jars for the creative kiddo. I'll be posting more photos later.

This message mat has a vintage 9-patch block, that I picked up at a country auction, embellished with buttons, ribbon and Comfort in Psalms fabric. I also used dryer sheets, feed sack and red, white & blue vintage fabric as a base.

Mug Mats

This is a sampling of the Message Mug Mats I've made for the church bazaar, to be held the first weekend in November. I used a fabric entitled "Comfort of Psalms" to embellish vintage fabrics and quilt blocks . Each mat is hand quilted and will come with a white mug and message tag.
