New Pattern

 

Ribbons and Bows Wall Hanging or Table Runner is a quick to assemble fun pattern featuring three-dimensional bow ties.

Makes a great gift or a quick decoration for your own home.

Pattern is listed in the shop.

Check out the pretty fabrics my mother used - a totally different look.  All it needs is a little quilting and some binding.  Great job, Mom! Love the fabric choices and it looks perfect!

 

If you are looking for the pot holder tutorial I'm putting the finishing touches on the tutorial and I'll have it up over the weekend!

 

A Winner!

Congratulations to Barbara G. who said:

Cute potholder. The Insul-Fleece is a great idea. I'd really like to try it. Pot holders, lunch bags and trivets would make some really cute Christmas presents! Love your blog

Send me your address and I"ll get this in the mail to you:

 

The potholder tutorial is almost ready to post.  Just a few more photos.

Will be up in plenty of time for you to put together some holiday gifts.

 

 

All Good . . . . . . Giveaway Good

 
Whoops - sorry about that little blogging break right in mid project but I received a last minute unexpected opportunity to go to Houston.  Not the Texas part - the International Quilt Market part! More on that later.

In my last post I talked about the great new Insul-Fleece from C&T Publishing that I used to create two failures of a potholder.  However, my third attempt was a true success!

 

I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo but this potholder is designed with the pocket to slip your hand in.  Size is just right and I still love that fabric. 

I used a layer of Insul-Fleece and a layer of fusible batting.  We removed a cooking sheet baked at 450 degrees with no heat discomfort.

I'll write up a tutorial for this project and post it here.  It's an easy and quick one. I'm thinking of that gift giving time of the year!

To make it even sweeter I have an extra packet of Insul-Fleece to give away.  Leave me a comment. I'll pick a winner Monday at 5:00 p.m.
