A Little Something Extra

Attended a bridal shower for our cousin's daughter this past weekend, and I purchased this bath rug and shower curtain for her the day before, a gift for which she had registered at JC Penney (Woodland Circle Bath Collection).

Of course, I got inspired by the colors and the wheels started turning... could I make a little "something extra" in one afternoon? Did I have these colors in my stash?

Well, I do work well under pressure, and I love a challenge. Here's what I came up with...

This is the second of these little "quiltlets" I've made from a pattern by Marcie Patch of Patchalot Patterns. I love it! Very quick to sew together, but with the added embroidery (the most time-consuming part), a lot more meaningful than the patchwork alone.

Moment of truth... how well do they coordinate?

Not bad! She can use it anywhere in her house, of course, as a candle mat or table topper, pinned to the wall, use it as a hot pad...

...but it will definitely fit in the bathroom. ;o)
