a morsbag, a mug rug and a wrist pincushion

leslie and i organized our second morsbag swap on craftster. i was partnered with the fabulous sharalee and this is what i made for her:

 a morsbag, of course! i went with four different fabrics for the bag and a fifth fabric for the handles. find out all about morsbags and how to make them here.

sharalee likes owls and listed a mug rug as an extra that she would like to have. this owl has one surprised eye that's perfect for a beverage. i also sent along a large kit kat which will fit nicely on the owl, too.

sharalee mentioned pin cushions and i found a great tute for a wrist pincushion here! 

she's a star wars fan and i already had some cool star wars blueprint fabric in my stash : )

a fabric alphabet

 i was lucky to be able to "angel" for a craftster swap last month. one of the things that lydiaharper had on her holiday wish list was a set of fabric letters to gift to a three-year-old boy.  there are a bunch of tutorials for this including this one at jandjhome.

it's a fun way to remember some favorite fabics that i've owned. the woodlands A, sidewalk B, atoms C, peacock D...

she really liked them. it's great when a first-time project turns out AOK
