Zakka. Simply irresistible.

Have you heard about the sew along using the new book,

 Patchwork, Please! : Colorful Zakka Projects to Stitch and Give

 by Ayumi Takahashi? 

 

I happened to pick up this book over the weekend and was delighted with the gorgeous projects it contains and couldn't wait to get stitching. ;o)

I stitched up these fun bell pepper coasters this afternoon using Ayumi's delightful book. I thought they were too cute to resist and I think they'll make a great gift.  I'm also thinking of joining in on the sew along. 

Apparently, you can join in at any time and  there will be a post for each week of the sew along. I believe that this is week #2. Here's the link to the schedule, if you're interested.

  Sounds like lots of sewing fun, doesn't it?

The sew along is hosted by Lindsey of  LRstitched and Debbie of  A Quilter's Table. 

Thanks so much Lindsey and Debbie!

Even if you're not sewing along with everyone, you might be interested to see what everyone is making...   You can follow the sew along on:

Nothing like mixing in some small, quick sewing projects between the quilts I've got on the go!  Besides just mention patchwork and linen and I'm yours. ;o)  It may be the most irresistible combination I can think of.  :o)
