This afternoon, Alyssa and I finished our project. In preparation, Alyssa had to change into pajamas (She’s no fool…she knows what is comfortable!).
We pinned.
And we sewed.
And we turned our project right side out.
Pressed, topstitched and done!
Cute potholders!
Thank you to Sew We Quilt for this fun tutorial!
With a little alteration, this owl could be so cute decorating a bag or pillow. Hmmmm…a future project perhaps?
I’ve had the pleasure of having my four year old granddaughter visit for a few days. In fact, the pass has been closed periodically with avalanches, so it may take her parents a little longer to come get her. Add to that, heavy rain here, so going out is not an option. So what shall we do?
Alyssa and I have come up with a fun project. In these two photos, she is busy using various objects to trace different size circles onto paper-backed fusible web.
Alyssa really enjoys peeling the paper from the fusible.
And here she is, choosing threads to applique her project with.
Now you and I could finish this project in an afternoon, but a four year old needs a little more time. There are other things that are calling out to her…like playing ball with the dog.
So we’ll finish this later.
Head on over to Linda Franz’s Inklingo Blog for a treat!
Linda and Monkey have a fabulous 70 second tutorial on how to make these fun and utilitarian finger pincushions. That’s right…70 seconds is all it takes to learn how to make these.
Use ’em for yourself and make extra for gifts for all your sewing/quilty friends!
