Triangle Color Block Table Runner

Color Block style has a cool 60s vibe but with a bold, modern look. No prints need apply. This is all about solid, saturated color. Classic half square triangles make up our stunning runner. The easy patchwork creates a fabulous finish.

Insulated Baby Bottle Sleeve

Our thermal baby bottle carrier has a water-resistant PUL lining with a layer of insulating batting and a trendy fabric exterior. The handy Velcroยฎ strap can hook onto a stroller or diaper bag. Fast and easy for yourself or as a gift.

Moroccan Style Deco Stitch Tea Towels

Pull out the spiciest colors and most striking patterns from your scrap stash for this set of trendy towels. Then, dive into your machineโ€™s decorative stitch options to add some dramatic stitch style. A wonderful host/hostess gift.

Tall Square Tissue Box Cover

Tissue boxes are much prettier these days, but still may not be right for your dรฉcor. Personalize the look with your own cover, featuring our pop-from-the-top grommet! The free pattern download fits a standard square-style box.

Mason Jar Wraps

A jar wrap helps absorb condensation, makes the jar easier to handle, and looks super cute. We show you how to create pretty accent bands from a few fave strips of leftover fabric. It’s a fun ScrapBusters project.

Round Hot Pads with Circular Decorative Stitching

The Janome Circular Sewing Attachment, Aurifil Thread, and multiple rows of decorative stitching work together to create a โ€œround-tasticโ€ set of hot pads. Add a special recipe or unique seasoning for an excellent gourmet gift.

Felt and Fabric Coasters

A pretty option for dining indoors or out. Cut, layer, stitch, serve (shaken not stirred). Itโ€™s just that easy, and as cute and colorful as can be. Super fast and a great option for scraps โ€“ especially leftover charm squares.

Layered Tea Time Placemats

Lovely linens make any occasion special. Blend pretty quilting cottons to create a set of fancy placemats for tea time or anytime. The finishing touch: a classic gray gingham for the ribbon accents plus a delicate white lace trim.

In-The-Hoop Embroidered Coasters

The technique is just as the name implies: the vast majority of the project, both sewing and embroidery, is done within an embroidery hoop. The elegant result is similar in rich color and complexity to a fine Jacquard ribbon.

Fancy Border Tea Towels

Pretty towels are a wonderful addition to any kitchen for yourself or as a gift. This option is great for longer fabric scraps. Each towel starts with one 4″ and one 3″ strip, which are then trimmed to fit a purchased base towel.

Decorative Stitch Hot Pads

This happy pair of hot pads is all about the beauty of a perfect line. We selected a wide stripe for the front, then highlighted it with parallel rows of bright decorative stitching. Wrap up several as a unique host/hostess gift.

Tall Wine Bags in Burlap + Cotton

These tallย wine bags mix the rustic feel of burlap with smooth cotton and a velvet or wire-edged ribbon. By cutting the heart appliquรฉ from the same burlap as the main bag panels, it creates the look of a window on the front accent band.

Patchwork Mug Rug

The mug rug is a mini placemat with just the right amount of room for a mug and a few little treats. Ours features pretty patchwork on one side with custom embroidery (a free download) on the opposite sideโ€™s pocket and napkin.

Patchwork + Pom Pom Table Runner

A happy tabletop centerpiece has the potential to become a best-loved holiday tradition. Make one for yourself plus more for friends and family. We used a Layer Cake with bright poms in a coordinating color.

Leather + Felt Coasters

Theyโ€™re made from leather remnants. The half-square triangles go together in a snap, and the soft wool-felt backing makes them safe for any surface. Super fast and easy. No edge finishing since neither leather or felt will fray.

Zippered Thermal Picnic Tote

Insulated with thermal batting to help keep food warm or cold. Plenty of interior pockets โ€“ all in easy-care PUL. And the top inset zipper provides a secure closure so even if the tote tips, your picnic doesn’t spill.

Flatware Pockets

Handy pockets make it easier to shuttle utensils from the kitchen to the patio. Load them up, stack them up, carry them out. Because they’re self-contained, you can use them with placemats, tablecloths or right on the table.

French Press Cozy

A French Press makes an awesome cup of coffee, but if you let the press stand for any length of time, the coffee goes cold. Create a cozy to extend the warmth. Itโ€™s a great gift idea for your favorite coffee addict.

Linen Placemats with Heirloom Accents

Explore heirloom stitching by machine. We show two options: hemstitching (if you are brand new) and fagoting (if youโ€™re more advanced). Both offer beautiful borders with mitered corners and an optional monogram.

Patchwork Napkin Set

Cloth napkins are more beautiful, more absorbent, and more green. These nifty napkins use a technique for building patchwork strips called a strata. So colorful, it will make breakfast, lunch or dinner feel like a party.

Tablecloth + Sheer Overlay Sets

One of the fastest holiday makeovers is a tablecloth. Just three steps: cut, hem, set the table. So fast, why not create a set?! Use a thick, rich drapery or upholstery weight for the underlay โ€“ a gorgeous sheer for the overlay.

Ripstop Grocery Bags

Lightweight enough to fold away into their own handy carrying case, but tough enough to take on the big shopping chores. We used bound ripstop nylon for a great set of flexible totes that work as hard as you do.

Kids’ Reversible Chalk Cloth Placemats

It’s a reversible placemat. No, it’s a kidโ€™s activity. Wait… you’re both right! Thereโ€™s festive fabric on one side and unique chalk cloth on the other. Write on it with regular or liquid chalk; wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Personalized Mug Rug

Greeting cards are a nice, but most are eventually forgotten. Instead, try our mug rug project with its custom Salutation Strip through the center. Itโ€™s an every day reminder to the recipient that they have a friend in you.

Tea Towels with Jumbo Ruffles

These terrific towels start with a base of pre-hemmed toweling. To that, you’ll add deep ruffles in a variety of bright prints plus a pretty ribbon to hide the seam. 100% cotton and machine washable… get ready to dry some dishes!

Appliquรฉd Napkin Set + Free Gift Tags

Quilt Block Panels are often used for quick and easy quilts, table runners or wall hangings. Weโ€™ve used them instead as feature appliquรฉs on pretty banded, double-sided napkins. As an extra bonus, thereโ€™s a set of free gift tags.

Plastic Bag Keeper/Dispenser

Recycle those plastic bags! We show our pretty Keeper/Dispenser on a pantry door; it would also work great over a doorknob, inside a cupboard or hanging from a wall hook. Just drop bags into the top โ€“ pull out from the bottom.

Elegant Quilted Table Runner

An exquisite ribbon can transform a simple rectangle of solid fabric into an elegant table runner. We quilted the center in a wide diamond pattern, and the ribbon frame extends beyond the edge at the corners with pretty loops.

Double Sided Picnic Blanket with Carry Wrap

One side is cotton sateen, the other laminate, quilted together with polyester batting sandwiched between. We also created a clever carry wrap with shoulder straps. Fold and roll the blanket, wrap and Velcroยฎ closed, and off you go.

Full Length Cook’s Apron + Matching Hot Mitt

Is your guy an awesome chef or maybe a weekend warrior on the BBQ? Whether he’s headed to the next Chili Cook-Off or just flippin’ burgers for a backyard family picnic, our cook’s apron and hot mitt combo is sure to light his fire.

Color Rich Runner, Napkins + Ties

Three tabletop projects in one! A long patchwork table runner plus generous reversible napkins with pretty ribbon wraps. We outline how to measure to best fit the runner to your table and how to adjust the patchwork if needed.

Tablecloth Overlay with Cool Corners

Itโ€™s a plain fringed underlay with a bright, patterned overlay. By making the underlay from a neutral fabric, you can reuse it with new overlays. Itโ€™s a fast way to change the look of your tabletop to match the season or celebration.
