Acorn Candle Mats... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full


Acorn Candle Mats

 


This is an acorn coaster pattern...

I enlarged it and changed the shape a bit...





I pulled these homespun fabrics

from the cupboard...





Before too long I had an 

acorn candle mat completed...





I had a great deal of fun using these

homespun fabrics...





Trying out different color combinations...





It was hard to stop...

I just had to keep cutting them out

and stitching them together.











I rounded up a few candles

to try them on for size...




Acorn Candle Mats...

Great for gift giving this autumn.

My sewing machine is home, although of late it mostly lays dormant through the days as I wend my way through all the big changes over the last several years. We all experienced Covid together, which… Continue reading Home

Closing the door from Quilting with Kimberly

As of today, we have closed the door to a chapter in our lives and we’re looking forward to the future. Our time in Australia has come to an end, but we’ll look back with love for the kangaroos, fondness for brilliantly-colored sunsets, some challenges, and bittersweet memories mixed in. 

Now it’s time to focus on the next chapter. 

The home we purchased in Australia was settled and sold today to a wonderful gentleman who has promised he’ll care for the Roos as we did. In fact, just this afternoon he sent us this sweet photo ...

Looking back, looking forward from Quilting with Kimberly

The waning hours of 2022 are upon us. Less than 24 hours to go until a new year will be ushered in to greet us all. 

Sweet Fuzzy Wuzzy, napping on the cool patio during very warm days.

Roo food, apples, and water were always on hand at Chez Einmo.

This year, perhaps more than most, I’m glad to see the end of 2022 and I’m looking forward with great expectation to everything 2023 will bring. Don’t misunderstand; there were some exciting things which happened in 2022. I think of friends we met along the way, the ...
