Based on my birthday, June 8th (6/8), I was to use a deep purple and gray for this challenge. So..... we got home, got laundry started - and I quickly pulled out my purple and gray scraps to get to work!

April has been a super busy month - my blog has been quieter for sure - and I really have no idea where the month went???
I knew when I originally saw the challenge I wanted to make something for me - because it was based on MY birth date.
So.... today I decided I'd whip up a coffee sleeve!
I get up at 4:30am with my hubby most weekdays to get some work in before my kiddos wake up - so coffee is a MUST around here. I have a few reusable cups that don't have built in insulation - so they definitely need a sleeve!
Purple + gray + coffee sleeve + ONLY using scraps = this!
I did a little bit of straight line quilting through all three layers (cotton / fusible fleece / cotton) along the seams.
Decaf?! Yah, right!
Perfect - ready to protect my hand from that delicious, hot, oh-so-necessary java tomorrow morning!
I love making coffee sleeves - and sell them in my Etsy shop - I'm always willing to cut into any in-stock fabric to make one!
In true Project Quilting fashion here are the details:
This coffee sleeve was (quickly) created in my home sewing studio in Montesano, WA. It measures approximately 9.5" x 2.5" and is three layers - cotton / fusible fleece / cotton with bits of straight line quilting in a light gray. Oh... and I'll call it "quick and scrappy"! :)
