What I've finished up...
First off my To Do list and they have been there quite a while - pillowcases for donation to Jackie's quilt guild. I am the worst procrastinator ever but they are done.
Next up, my potholders for the third potholder swap. My partner is up for anything so I went with Verna and did some string blocks. First time I tried them. I think they came out okay. Please IGNORE the fact that the little string block in one of the potholders is totally crooked. I didn't notice until I was putting the finishing borders on. Let's just pretend I meant it to be like that. ;)
I also tried a Tuffets pin cushion out of some Verna. I like it. I'm making one for myself. I filled it with crushed walnut shells and backed it with hot pink crushed velvet. Of course, I pressed the darn thing and it doesn't look very "crushed" now but I like the texture.
And here are the potholders, one by one.
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteCrooked? What's crooked? I don't see anything crooked. Your potholders are sweet.
I just love them all Jen. The pillowcases are really cute and you did a great job on the potholders.
ReplyDeleteI love those! OF course, I love anything Verna and I have always wanted to do a string blocks...I would have thought you meant that one to be a bit wonky, had you not mentioned it...lots of quilters do that on purpose, you know. I also like that pincushion...very cute!
