Sew Easy Gifts ~ Quick Sew Jar Openers


I took a few minutes break from quilting for a hot cup of herbal tea and honey 
and to sew two of these 
Quick Gift Jar Openers

I had my walking foot on my machine which is what I like to use for these
and I decided the thread for my quilt
matched the gold in the fabrics just right.


I trim these after I sew and turn and use my

It has been a really fun blog hop week seeing all the wonderful

Time to resume my Quilting ... Quilting ... Quilting. 
This weekend I will be quilting This Project,
which will be featured on my blog in December
with a new free pattern release from Fat Quarter Shop.

Have a Happy Quilty Weekend!

I decided to use up the scraps and get ready for my next blog hop project.


I cut the ends down to 1.5" strips to use with my new ...



I have joined in the fun in the upcoming



and I needed to practice making some blocks before I
sew my blog hop project. 



So I sewed the 1.5" strips into sets of three 
and used my

to make Itsy-Bitsy BasiX units ...


... and then sewed them into blocks.

I decided to make coasters with my blocks ...


... sew I sandwiched them with 5" squares of
batting and backing fabric.


Here are my colorful new coasters!


My quilty kitties, Katniss and Maestro, are putting their heads together
and planning our project for the
