Lovely Little Patchwork Blog Tour ~ Sew Along

Hello! Today I'm so happy to share with you a little project I made from my friend Kerri Horsley's wonderful book Lovely Little Patchwork ~ 18 Projects to Sew Through the Seasons.

I have been such a fan of Kerri's work for years. She has such a great eye for color and fabulous taste in fabrics. Her book is full of beautiful projects with just as beautiful pictures and graphics. It's a feast for your eyes. 

I wanted to make everything from the book! I hope I eventually get the chance to. For today's post though, since it's fall, I chose the Patchwork Pumpkin & Maple Leaf Placemat. 

I think it is such an adorable project and it also gave me the chance to work with colors I don't tend to use very much. 

I haven't played with my stash in a long time. It was fun to pull out some much loved Japanese prints, reproductions and OOP fabrics that I've collected. 

I love the pockets for the napkin and utensils. 

It's such a fun touch to add to the placemat. The pumpkin maple leaf block is so cute too!  I'd love to use this block for a matching fall tablerunner. 

I have plans to make this sweet sewing kit next. It's just beautiful. 

Check out what others have made from Kerri's Lovely Little Patchwork book!
