The pattern was a sew-along from the Temecula Quilt Company, one of my favourite online resources. The pattern came out in 2018 and the quilt appeared on my 2020 UFO Challenge list. In April of that year I had one block done and the top was finished in May that year. It was my September UFO Challenge this year.

The pieces are very tiny and my skill level wasn’t as high as it is now (or so I like to think). When I put the top together I had to add little bits and pieces to some of the blocks just to get them to the right size. The white fabric was new but the red, green and brown fabric were from various scraps in my Christmas bin.

The quilting went quite quickly, although now that it is finished I see where I could have made a change on some of the quilting lines.

This went to Christy in her 12-Days of Christmas package.

I made a few more microwave cozies this past year and thought they would be a good idea for the 12 Days packages.

I made them in three different sizes but the smallest size (8″) finished up being only large enough for a very small bowl or cup. The 10″ and 12″ are a bit more useable.

Then I decided to make a couple more (10″ and 12″) to send along in Big Dylan and Erica’s parcel. The fabric for their bowls was inspired by the fabric I received in my Guild Challenge package.

There is nothing better than Christmas leftovers!

I think this is probably my favourite miniature from the entire collection. It could be that I’ve had almost a dozen to practice on before I got to this one. Sadly the company that made these available is no longer sending to Canada so Stacia, Deloise and I will have to find something else to do on our sewing days. I don’t expect it to be a problem!

I gave this one to Elizabeth at Christmas.
