So basically I took a cardboard coffee sleeve apart and traced it out for my pattern then I planned out my CQ patches and stitched them together. Then layered the front with batting and embellished away.
Now I should have trimmed the quarter inch seam allowance off but I forgot and after sandwiching with a fusible backing I satin stitched the edges. Then hand stitched the two sides together and did some feather stitching to anchor securely together. I LOVE IT and I sure hope Sandy does too!!!
Now onto my CQd 6" block and embellishing too for the CQ-CA month end swap along with my regular CQI and SewBuds RR CQd blocks that are slowly trickling in for my turn of embellishing. I just love this!!!

Rose Anne ... now this is fabulous! A wonderful gift ... beautiful & functinal! Love the idea.
Hmmm ... Just noticed it'd go great on a Timmy's cup!
You are going to be the classiest coffee drinker around Rose Anne and will most like start a craze for this beauty.
What a great idea, Rose Anne...
cheers - FDS
Sandy will certainly have to guard her coffee more rigorously with that lovely sleeve!!
Maybe I should make one for my father. He has gotten into the habit of going for coffee with friends. Only he would never use it, not wanting to get it dirty!
I like the way yours turned out. I mailed Linda's on Friday. In the end it fitted a large Tim's cup. It's a fun swap and I'm making another for my daughter!
