So here is my take on the potholder project that was up on Embroidery Lib. this week. I used the ''love cooking'' designs from Sew Swell. I quilted my own fabric, love how that turned out. Word of advice, when cutting your binding cut a little wider than usual (I usually use my 1'' binding tip on my machine) because binding this is not easy. An extra 1/4'' would make a bid difference. All in all I am quite pleased with it, this one is for ''ME''.
thanks for looking
hugs everyone
Michelle

Wow, the quilting is very good - give yourself a pat on the back and I love the designs. Chain this one to the hook when you get visitors! Hugs

Super looking. Glad this one is yours. Is this a idea for kitchen basket's like your baby basket's?

thanks Mary,
Now how did you guess, I am working on a basket idea that could be given to newlywed or new home owners. Have a few ideas in this old head of mine.

I was eyeing that project also. You did a fabulous job. Thanks for the tip about the binding. I'll remember that when I get around to making one.

A little time consuming because I did my own quilting, I have yet to try them to see if they are heat resistant, but they are pretty to look at lol,

yes, I purchased the fabric with my kitchen in mind, sorry I didn't purchase more, I think it would be a good seller.

This is really nice. It's good to make something for ourselves occasionally, although everything I make seems to find a home somewhere else.

thanks and I know what you mean, this will be staying here though, I put my name on it so I would be sure not to give it away like I do most of my things.
