Zakka Along Week 12 :: Patchwork Hand Warmers

This week's Zakka project  is a set of hand warmers by Chez Beeper Bebe, and in their original form, have sweet little embroidered faces. I confess, I was relieved that Nova of a cuppa and a catch up... granted permission to change things up, being a bit of an embroidery-phobe of late.

Anyway, I was rummaging around trying to get inspired, when I came across two extra blocks from a table runner I made earlier in the year. Not quite large enough, I added another couple of rows and soon had some colorful patchwork circles. With some Essex Linen scraps as backing, these mismatched little ones were done in no time. Good deal.

Hard to believe we're half-way done with the sew-along! Linking up with LRStitched.

  8. Cute! I'm still trying to figure out what these are for though!

    On a side note, this post and your use of those leftover patchwork blocks reminded me....your improv table runners that you've made - I recently bought the Fresh Quilting book and only then realized that your runners, which I have admired so much and wondered how they were put together, are constructed exactly the same as my Chrysalis quilt!
