Potato Bags

I didn’t jump on the wagon when potato bags were so popular a few years ago. However, I did put them on my to-do list (Yeah…it takes me awhile to get around to everything on the ultra long to-do list).

Back in January (Am I really saying ‘back in’ already?), I cut out kits to make several bags. I wish I had vegetable themed fabric, but I went with what I have.

There are several free tutorials on the internet. There is also one on the back of the batting package.

You definitely want to use 100% cotton for all of your materials. No metallic fabric! Play it safe…these bags will be used in a microwave!

These bags are quick and easy to make!

They are useful and are great to have on hand whenever you need a quick gift.

Mine are about 9″ square…plenty of space for a couple of potatoes (or corn, carrots, etc…).

I wish I had made these sooner; they are a fast way to cook potatoes!

Be My Valentine Table Runner

Be My Valentine

Be My Valentine table runner by Cherry Guidry was a fun squirrel project to make!

I knew this table runner would be a great fit for my large cabinet!

Of course, one wouldn’t have to make it this big. One could sew just a couple of hearts for the size needed (my finished size turned out to be about 16.25″ x 63″).

The quilting doesn’t really show up on the back, not just because I haven’t washed this yet (for the texture), but because the backing that I chose is a busy print.

This project was a very enjoyable break away from the computer (genealogy, ya know)!

Cherry has a wonderful website called Cherry Blossoms…you might like to check it out!
