Fabric Tuesday!!

Quilt Story hosts a blog party every Tuesday.  This lets other bloggers to post on their blog a recent project or tutorial.  This increases the flow between bloggers that haven't met yet.   I'm going to include my tutorial on the Oblong Potholders.  Come back next Tuesday to see if I have a new project to share.  Click the picture below and it will take you to this blog:

  

Potholder Pass Round 7

This also came yesterday.  It was like Christmas or my birthday yesterday and I am elated!!!.   Jazzed, jazzed, jazzed.  See why I do these swaps.  It keeps me active in my favorite field of study and I get great stuff from strangers.  It's a gas!!!  Or as the younger say "It's the bomb". Anyway they asked what colors I had in my kitchen so my secret partner could craft potholders to match.  It's a fun way to keep busy and you get a set of much needed potholders to boot.   Of course my kitchen is done in pink and green.  Are there other colors???  he he he  So here are the potholders I received from jennspen from Alabama. Thank you Jennifer, they are the best!!!

 Aren't they fun????   I love them!!!  Too pretty to use.  But I cook and create recipes often so they will get good use.  I should share some of my recipes with my readers.  But today I need to finish another swap. 

Sewn Spaces Swap

Last night around 8-8:30pm I was going out to a friends house and when I opened my front door there it was.  A big box.  Boy, was I surprised.  It's early yet to receive any of my swaps, but that was what it was.  A box from my swap partner, SpontaneousThreads.  Inside was a cache of great surprises.  Here is a mosiac I made of the pictures I took and a few she took.  Wait until you see it.  It is wonderful!!!!  Now I finally have a Sewing Machine Cover!!!  A Great One Too!!!

Oblong Potholder Tutorial

One of the many swaps I am doing on Flickr is the Pot Holder Pass.  I don't know who is making mine and the person I am making for doesn't know who has her name.  We are supposed to post teases(pictures) during the creating process.  I posted this picture to the stream.  It was a big hit.  They liked the fabric and the style.  Someone wanted to know what pattern I used.  I informed her I made it up but would share the pattern.  The next lady asked for a tutorial.  So here it goes.  This tutorial was way to picture heavy so
I am adding it as a pdf file.  Just click the picture below and it will take you there.  I hope everyone understands my directions.  I have given my email address for any questions.
