PUMPKIN MATS

We thought it was definitely time for a pumpkin version as our small project for the latest LITTLE BOX OF FIGS. If you are part of our LITTLE BOX subscription, you can use your leftover AGATHA ROAD charm pack squares and background leftovers and create these little mats.

If you’re not part of our LITTLE BOX subscription, you can purchase the downloadable PATTERN SHEET HERE, grab some Halloween-feeling scraps, and join us!

APPLE MATS

During our FRUIT SALAD SEW ALONG back in 2023, Susan [@thefeltedpear] shared this fun project extra. It uses a singular APPLE block from Page 37 of the FRUIT SALAD BOOK, along with some fun flying geese or diamond block accents, which make for a super sweet make…and it’s great for scraps!

CHRISTMAS MATS [-OR- POTHOLDERS]

For Gift Week 2023, Susan also made a host of kitchen-related gifts, including these potholders that double as mug mats!

From Susan:

I wanted to make potholders that were a step above a single panel of fabric but would still be quick and allow me to use up scraps from making the placemats.  I have a set of “pocket” potholders in my kitchen that I love, and I decided to try to replicate them for my friends.

TEA FOR ONE MAT

Inspired by our TEA FOR TWO quilt pattern, I couldn’t resist adding a little tea mug mat for all of you tea lovers out there. This gets a lot of good use in my office as I sip my favorite tea every day!

Check out THIS BLOG POST for all the details on both the quilt and mug mat.

HOT COCOA MAT

Tagging on the above TEA FOR ONE mat, I couldn’t help but see COCOA mugs, too! A few simple alterations to the block and voila… our dainty tea cups become cocoa mugs!
