My Christmas tree

 My Christmas tree

    I like to sew and I wanted something to brighten up my hallway for the holidays, so I had purchased some felt, and this back ground material some time ago. It's not done yet, but in the meantime, I am having fun making it. The two cookie cutters are going to be designs on the tree. 

I have used a cookie cutter for the star on top, and odds a ends of trim I had, and Christmas type material. 


Below is the finished tree.

My pumpkin mug rugs

 My pumpkin mug rugs  

   I didn't have a pattern, I just  drew a picture on a piece of paper in the shape of a pumpkin, then cut the paper into strips.  I put the paper pieces on different pumpkin and fall type fabric and cut them out, then sewed them together,  then cut a backing and liner to fit it, and started sewing the material together with the 3 pieces of material held together using different stitches on the machine, when I finished with that, I used a satin stitch and sewed around them, then added the stem.  All fabrics from JoAnn's.
