the letter k

Happy New Year everyone!  I'm really looking forward to 2018.

It's Week 13 of the Fat Quarter Shop's sew along for Lori Holt's book Spelling Bee, which means it's my turn.  I chose the letter "k" for obvious reasons, but what you probably didn't know is that maiden name is Karafil (which is Albanian, if you're interested .. and I couldn't look less Mediterranean if I tried LOL! ... so for many years my initials were KK :)

This block took me about an hour from the fabric pull (First Romance fabrics, of course) to hand stitching the binding.  I'm going to use my k as a mug rug at the office.  What a lovely idea for a quick, fun, useful, and personalized little gift?  xo k

It's gorgeous!! It only took an hour? Good going: you have me inspired to make a few as gifts! What a great idea to use it as a mug rug. :-) Hugs, H in Healdsburg

Beautiful with your new fabrics, Kristyne!

I'm sitting here with my 1/2-yard bundle of First Romance and wondering if you've got an idea for solid fabrics to coordinate with or match the blues, pinks, and reds?

I cannot get over how gorgeous these fabrics are, btw!
