I got a little sewing done over the weekend - some cute pot holders for the shop - I have never made one before and it was a new thing to bind a circle - easy, except for making it a continuous binding. As I tell my students I'm still a newbie - always learning. I'm very tickled how these turned out though. The pattern is in the latest Quilt Magazine with a few free patterns with the fabric on their site (and lots of other free patterns):
I use to be an avid QNN.com watcher, but once they started charging yearly fees, I stopped. One of my first and neatest notions I purchased based off of one of the early videos was this Brandy 9" Circle Template and the Brooklyn Revolver Rotary Mat on one side and a ironing mat on the other. I don't use this too often, but I'm grateful that I own it to use it when I do need it:
More pictures later this week.
Wonderful pot holders! Great bag and zipper pouch from Heidi.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you played along in OASS. Hope you enjoy your gifts!
ReplyDeleteI love the pot holders. How lucky you are receiving the matching tote and little bag. You will enjoy using them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great swap gift! Awesome. The potholders are cute -- I've never made a round one.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think I'd like to have one of those rotating mats. Seems much better than walking around the table like I do now! Cute bag!
ReplyDeleteToni, congratulations on the purchase of your new home. The potholders are adorable.
