Coffee cozy
My brother takes his kids to Starbucks as a treat - kind of special time with Dad. He gets a latte and they get hot chocolate. I thought making a coffee cozy for everyone in the family would be a great gift. A New Year's gift since I missed all the December holidays! The pattern and instructions for these is in the current (Winter) issue of Quilting Arts Magazine. I lucked out and found one piece of fabric already free motion embroidered so that one went together fast! It's the one on the cup. The two front ones are made with Laurel Birch animal fabric and the orange one is a superhero fabric - although cut up into a little patchwork. The dark one in the back is made from scraps from my Makerira doll's outfit and is fabric confetti with thread bits, covered by tulle, that is then free motion embroidered. These are fun and quick to make. I need to make one for Fran now! Maybe one for myself too!
How cute....I saw a lady on tv today do free motion embroidery using a double needle...now I want to try that.
Awesome and a great idea...love sherry

These are very cool and are a great gift idea.
Posted by: kerry at December 31, 2006 3:49 AMJudi, what a WAAAY cool idea! I'm going to do some of those & take 'em to Borders for the cafe! Dave will LOVE 'em & I know he'll let me sell them there! They're so much nicer than the paper cozies!
Posted by: Kai at January 1, 2007 4:52 AMThose are great! So what are you going to do with the newly found doll parts- especially the 3 legged one? LOL!

Just a follow-up, the kids LOVE 'em! And we get admiring glances when we use them at the cafe too.
Your bro and the kids
