Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my Mini Charm Pillow & Table Mat Tutorial for a really fun project you can make with just one Mini Charm pack and a little additional fabric. This project has an optional center Grandmother’s Flower Garden block insert–it’s an adorable project with or without the added block. It’s scrap friendly, and the pattern is free. Additionally, I have a video to share so you can see assembly details up close.

I need your help. I am not receiving your daily emails for some reason. And I don’t know how to sign up to start receiving them again. My email address is pankow18@aol.com. I am a big fan ever since I saw your Balboa collection. I have been purchasing every fabric Chelsea and you designed since then.
Thank you for your help.

Is there a way to search your blog without having to scroll through everything to find what I’m looking for??? I don’t see a search bar anywhere.

If you click on the word Quilting below the circle near the top, you’ll find a blog search bar along with a lot of helpful pre-populated category suggestions.

personalizing!!

love your grandmother’s flower, however the video has a duplicate voice (man’s voice) for some other ad, which overrides your voice during your instructions on how to make the hexagon flowers … it’s impossible to hear your voice, as the volume for the mans voice is much higher. Just to let you know that most of your demo video’s have problems, and difficult to watch most of them due to various technical problems. otherwise i do love your video’s and all that you share.

What are the names of the flowers used in the bouquet on the table mat.
