Reusable coffee cup sleeves

With the craft fair coming up at work, I am working on making coffee cup sleeves as one of the items for my booth/table. Here’s the work in progress.

I had trouble coming up with the pattern and design. Here are two of the examples, I landed going with design 2 (the one with the grey background). For the back I have been using a complementary corduroy.
This is how they look on a cup.

So far I have created several top designs, these are shown below.

Christmas themed cup sleeves

Coffee themed cup sleeves and coaster

Detailed patchwork cup sleeves

Top: Dark purple as the main color and the yellow and green used for contrast

Bottom: Orange red as the main color with pink and teal for contrast

The company I work for has a Craft fair every Christmas – so today I signed up to have a booth (table) at the fair. This is my first time doing something like this and I was excited about the opportunity.

Now, 3 hours later, I am at home thinking about the severe lack of stock I have for the fair and realizing I have a lot of work ahead of me. The good news it’s not until December 5th – that gives me 25 days!!

The second concern other than time, is what to put in the “Squeek Crafts” table?? I have so many ideas – so far I am thinking (with examples):

Patchwork Coffee Cup holders – some with matching coasters (new)
Quilted place mats
Chair Bags/Chair Pockets
Stuffed Monsters
Cork Boards

Choices, Choices…let’s see 25 days and counting

For this week’s work in progress, I wanted to share the quilt I am working on for our bedroom.

In the previous post, I was able to share the first 5 squares of 64 for this quilt, which was only doable as I discovered Spoonflower (found fabric prints that fitted with what we were looking for). Here’s a reminder:
