It's day two of our party!! I hope you are eating some serious cake!!! 🙂 I am whipping up new Paleo friendly cookies this afternoon to share with you tomorrow, so go ahead and save your sugar points for me for tomorrow! (wait, it's Paleo…no sugar! and you'll love it!)
How about some celebratory embroidery???
I drew up this embroidery pattern for you this week!!
How can we use it?
I like the mini quilt option the best….
…but what do you do with a mini quilt??? It unfortunately won't keep you warm – on the outside, anyway!! 🙂
These are just three ideas for uses of mini quilts! As a crafter/quilter, mini quilts can be your saving grace as you are perfecting your craft! Plus, they don't take anywhere near as long as a throw to make!!
For this embroidery pattern, you can make a medium sized pillow for the bed of the one who has the birthday! Wouldn't it be fun to wake up with a new pillow on your bed??? So fun!!!
What are some other ideas you can do with this embroidery pattern?
- Fun hoop art
- pillow
- table runner
- birthday tote bag
- fun twirlie skirt
Lots of fun ideas!!!!
So here's the pattern: DOWNLOAD HERE
Here are some more shots of how I am going to use my mini quilt…I pinned it to my curtains next to my kitchen table. I can pin it behind the chair of the birthday person! (Right now, it's pinned behind my chair! LOL!!)
Enjoy and be sure to share with us if you use the pattern!!!
Bunting pennants made with Sweet Divinity (designed by The Quilted Fish)!!!
There are 9 pennants with bias tape sewn to the tops! Two of them are attached with one piece of bias tape.
Again, lots of ideas for you to use these!! Sew them together to make one bunting, or just applique them to a quilt top for a fun bunting look on your quilt…
…like I did here…
You can purchase this quilt right HERE in the shop!!!

I love your mini quilt Sally!
My son graduates next month from uni – I shall be making one for him!!
They are all wonderful. I want them ALL! Mom
Mini quilts are a great way to celebrate the seasons, too.
I follow you on facebook.
You could use the embroidery design by putting it on to a large sack or bag which becomes a special birthday bag with lots of presents hiding inside.
I follow you on facebook.
What a great idea your mini quilt is! Perfect for those big birthday’s, i.e. 18th, 21st, etc…
Could do with one for my cousin’s 50th this Saturday. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the sentiment.

Love your Mini Quilt!!! Way fun! Sweet lil’ gift that creates a Special Heart Memory!! 🙂
sweet, sweet, sweet. I’m in the midst of making a little mini quilt for a friend who decided this year her family should have more fun. Naturally, I am including some bunting across the top–because what’s more fun than bunting?–along with the motto she chose for her crew.
My family has a big family reunion coming up over July 4th weekend! A banner would be perfect! thank you!
