Tutorial: Toddler Nap Mat

Christina McKinney shares a tutorial over at Birch Fabrics blog showing how to make this snuggle-ready nap mat for a preschooler. She used fleece and several fabrics from the Feather River collection created by Jay-Cyn Designs. The attached pillowcase is trimmed in one of my favorites, Feather River Patch. It’s what quilters call cheater cloth since it appears as if separate blocks have been sewn together, yet it’s printed that way. Talk about a time saver!

In her tutorial, Deb Gehringer ingeniously repurposes leftover fabric scraps into stunning quilted star ornaments, showcasing her resourcefulness and creative flair. Drawing from the vibrant remnants of her previous projects like the Five Squared Quilt and the golden hues of the Four Patch Charm quilt, Deb breathes new life into these materials.

Her inspiration stems from nostalgic memories of crafting a Christmas tree skirt for her son years ago, igniting a desire to continue the tradition of handmade holiday decor. To bring her vision to life, Deb selects a curated collection of metallic fabrics from renowned brands such as Marcus Brothers, RJR, and Andover Fabrics, infusing her ornaments with festive elegance and charm.
