My project this month wasn't a big one, but I'm happy with it. I started to clean up my cutting table which is piled high at the moment, and in doing so found these scraps I'd had leftover after finishing up a gift last Christmas. These had been leftover after making an insulated lunch tote last year. I just couldn't see throwing the fabric/insulbrite scraps out.Step 1 was to piece together to form this large piece fabric. Step 2 was then to quilt a enough backing for 3 potholders that were approximately 8.5" by 11" in size.
Assembling the potholders was next. These are for me and the teal is perfect with the accent color I've chosen for the kitchen in my house that hopefully by Christmas I'll be able to live in!
And the backs of the potholders. Fabric was from a remnant, and the binding was from another remnant.
Gratitudes:
1. Countertops are finally in progress (after 9 wks of delay!) and should be finished by the 18th of Nov. Still waiting to find out installation date.

3. Pantry is wonderful and filling up nicely as I slowly move things from the mobile to the house.

Oh, those potholders are fabulous. You remind me that it's about time I retired the ones I currently have. Definitely past their best...
if you read my blog you'll remember i made a slew of potholders as well and used up all my insul-brite and selvedge strips and a bunch of batting pieces...and i love your little gnome! it does pay to hang on to various bits and bobs as they do get used and come in hand at some point...
