I get so hung up deciding on the 'perfect' pattern and the 'perfect fabrics' that years go by and I still haven't made anything. I could have made and wore out about 3 sets by now! Does that ever happen to you? I do think now that I see that little ticker tape mug rug, that that idea would work so very well for some everyday placemats... I'm tempted to run upstairs right now and try one out, but lucky for the zillion WIPs I have going, I'd need white fabric and I'm STILL waiting for my order to arrive.

Mug Rugs and Placemats {Swirling}
I am finding these little mug rugs popping up everywhere to be so very inspiring. All kinds of great quilting techniques, free piecing and color combinations - a real feast for the eyes! I've sat down to try my hand at making at least one, but get overwhelmed with the possibilities and end up doing something entirely different.

Inspiration Monday
I'm not doing much sewing lately. I finished up my hexes for the handsome hexie swap (will post about that soon!) that Heather organized. I have cut pieces for June's Sew Modern Bee.
1. finished and all quilted, 2. original birds on a wire, 3. Urban swap machine cover, 4. Hexagons, 5. Another coin quilt!, 6. nest improv quilted (2)
But the thing I am most sad to admit is that I have come to the realization that I am losing my sewing space. My youngest daughter is not doing well at sharing a room with her sister and we're all losing too much sleep. I'm too tired to sew in the evenings. . .so it seems a bit silly and selfish, frankly, to try and hang on to the space.
Boo.
So instead, I'm finding inspiration and making future plans for my sewing life. Things like this are inspiring me lately. What is getting your creative juices flowing?
