My Friendship Candle Mats pattern includes two designs to make 15″ mini quilts that are perfect as a centre piece of a dining table, hung on a wall, or as a small table topper.
They are super quick to piece together and make lovely hostess or teacher gifts. The colour and fabric options for these designs are limit-less. Very small amounts of fabric are required to complete each one, so these make excellent scrap-busting mini quilts.
Detailed, step-by-step graphics and tips on how to press your seams are included in this pattern. Blank block diagrams have been provided, for both designs, so that you can audition your colour choices with confidence. This pattern is aimed at the beginner quilt-maker.
Please note: Candle Mats are intended as a decorative item. One should never, ever place a candle directly on fabric, even if a fire-retardant batting or spray have been used. Instead, all candles placed on fabric should be in a self-contained container or placed on a plate designed to withstand the heat from a candle.
Requirements
Each candle mat finishes at 15″ square. The requirements below are for creating one candle mat:
- Each candle mat uses five different colours/prints. You will need scraps of fabric to represent each colour/print.
- One 18″ x 18″ piece of backing fabric.
- One 17″ x 17″ piece of batting.
- Two strips 2.25″ x 40″ for binding.
- General sewing and quilting supplies (i.e. rotary cutter, mat, sewing machine, piecing thread).

Well designed sewing activity project organizer and planner.
I have so many hankies and this quilt looks like a lot of fun to make. I have been cleaning out my sewing/craft room and hope to start on this in a month or so. Thanks for the neat pattern.
I can’t bring my heavy machine, so I was very glad that there was the option to rent a machine.

This track helped very much in keeping my Gifting for 2026 organized. The tracker is very comprehensive. The only page I would love to see added is a "Where did I hide it" page.
It's an adorable baby quilt pattern, havent made yet, but I will.
I love the scrappy, cozy feel of this pattern.
I really love that you share the patterns. I haven’t had a chance to start sewing yet, but looking forward to when I do.
I can’t wait to try this pattern. It looks stunning, but seems quite doable!
So in the past, I have had bound planners to keep track of projects. While those are great, they don’t have the ability to arrange and be flexible in how they are arrranged. With the pdf planner, I can print extras of the pages I need, put them in the order I choose, and generally write and rewrite to my heart’s content! I love this planner so far, and I an excited to keep returning to it throughout the year.

I loved the pattern. I had a brain fart and just couldn’t think of a quickie pattern for newborn twins. I saw this and loved it!
