Lavender Sachets

Here's a fun gift idea I found here.  The lavender is available from this etsy site.  The aroma is wonderful. If you don't over stuff them, 1/2 lb. of lavender will make about 20 sachets.  

Here are the instructions and a few helpful tips:

To make 1 sachet, pick 2 coordinating fabrics, and cut 4.25 inch squares.  (I hope you're not just making 1!)

With a short stitch length (I used 2.0), stitch around all 4 sides, leaving a 2 inch opening on one side.  Back stitch at the beginning and end.

 Clip corners, turn right side out, press.

 Press seam down the unsewn seam for easy finishing.

The top of a water bottle is the perfect size to use as a funnel.  Do not over stuff, it's a sachet, not a bean bag.

Monaco Log Cabin

I love this log cabin design with white as the center, originally found here

Scrappy log cabins are fun and easy to make.  You can fine some instructions in this post.

Adding your sashing fabric as the last row going all the way around simplifies the whole sashing part.  Then you just sew your squares together and your top is finished. 

My favorite part.

I picked a big flower design for free motion quilting.
