Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Wool Spring Candle Mat Tutorial

I have just got started doing wool applique candle mats and it is so fun! I have been a quilter for many years and applique is my favorite. I saw so many really neat patterns for wool applique so I thought......hmmmmm......I need to try that. This pattern from Sew Felt is such a pretty pastel spring pattern that I thought I would share it with you. :)

Happy stitching!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Easter Egg Mug Rug Tutorial

Man oh man....I just noticed that Easter is early this year! Time just keeps flying along. Looks like we need to get our Easter decorating done a little earlier this year. There still are a couple of weeks before Easter so you still have time to make this cute little egg shaped mug rug from Sew today Clean tomorrow. Very easy and quick so you can use that Easter fabric stash to make several of them. :)

Happy sewing!
