Bowl Cozies, a Potato Bag, and a Rail Fence

Posted on September 2, 2023 | 22 Comments

I have made bowl cozies before, but they were all given away as gifts.

It is nearly chili and soup weather!

When the Hubster figured out that I was making bowl cozies, he got excited.

We are going to be using these!

I have also made potato bags and given them away.

I needed another for a quick gift and it sure doesn’t take long to make these!

Potato Bag

One of the things that I wanted to do this year was use up some of my hand dyes.

I have chosen Bonnie Hunter’s Checkerboard Rails pattern to help me out.

Rail Fence

This is very easy sewing and I think I have enough rail fence blocks made for a good-sized quilt.

I do need to make more four patches and then I will lay this out and see if I have enough.

Have fun and carry on!

    Your hand dyed fabric is beautiful! Makes me think I should get mine out.

    Can’t wait to see the top together. I have a drawer of hand dyed and painted fabric. Also need to use mine, feeling the urge to dye more.

      I am hoping that I picked a good pattern to both use it up and show it off, Donna. I have no room to store more hand dyes, so I gotta stop petting it and use it! Ha, ha! 🙂

    Hi Laura! Ooh, those are some pretty fabrics to make a fun quilt. Chili and soup weather?!! Well, I guess it’s not far off . . . but today it’s in the mid-90s and very humid. I’m not thinking about either soup or chili. It always gets hot here right for the start of school. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    Love those bowls! And you have a great start to a new quilt top. I always like how black and white checkers can tie in an array of fabric colors. Looking forward seeing those rail fences come together.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Laura.
