Mug Rug Swap #4 Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of the Mug Rug I am creating for the swap.  The partners are kept secret…. So, I can’t show to much.  Otherwise it would give away the ‘secret’.

The pile of scraps I started out with.

The front has her initial machine embroidered in lime.

And in keeping with the ‘scrappy’ part of the swap… I strip pieced the back using a quick assembly method.  This went together very quickly, and was a lot of fun.  Now I just need to finish binding and quilting it!  Not bad for someone who is the master at procrastination.  This doesn’t have to be mailed for another two weeks!

Quick Kitchen Curtain Tutorial

How comfortable with sewing are you?  Would you like to a quick and easy project that you can do yourself to create a window valance/ruffle out of any fabric you find?  Here you go!  There are only three lines of stitching in this project.  Very little measuring, and gorgeous results.

This project actually started almost two years ago, when I painted our current kitchen a pale ice blue we had left over from painting a bedroom.  To try something different, I painted the ceiling of the kitchen a deep, high-gloss navy.  You can see just a little bit of the ceiling in the finished curtain picture below.  As much as I adore the contrast in the paint colors, trying to find a ready made curtain for the kitchen has proven impossible.  Lots of kitchen curtains are to frilly, not the right color, too white, so on and so forth.  Did I mention too expensive?
