FROM DRAB TO FAB!!!! (First three comments get pattern free)

This idea came to me the other day while I was doing dishes.

I hate this corner of my cabinet...so lifeless. Don't you agree????


Went and got my new favorite color.



So it went from that.... to this....

I had actually wanted to make it bigger and I should have used paper or a different piece of fabric...but hey, I can adapt.



Matches my new dishes.  One of my sons sent me a gift card to Amazon and so I purchased these dishes.  He thought it was odd that I would buy dishes....I love love love them.

Feeling better now.

If you would like this pattern, just leave a comment, I will give the first three it free.

    Barb, I love it. I am always making little round toppers for the kitchen. It never occurred to me to make a corner one. I would liove the pattern. Would look great in the bathroom too

    What a clever idea! I also think that the quilt you are disappointed with is beautiful.

    That is a terrific idea. My counters are totally covered in stuff, so I wouldn't have any where to put the lovely little matt. (no need to send me the pattern)

    Great idea! Your son was surprised you bought dishes? I think I remember you sharing a bit of a collection of dishes with us before. Love the green!
