Hi cuties
Here is something new I have been working on, what is it? A dishmat to place on my kitchen counter that is pretty enough to allow me to leave my dishes drying while I do more important things like embroidery LOL. This was second attempt and I changed it up some on some others that I will have later. I used a small quilting block design and made it bigger to fit my large 16x20 hoop and quilter my fabric. Designs are from Nicole's Design and the sink from either emb. lib or dakota not sure which. The utensil border I made up from a single design which I duplicated several times. Inserted a snap so that it can hang inside the cupboard door to dry. Outside fabric is PUL so it is pretty water resistant.
Hope you like it, I do, thanks for looking
hugs to all
Michelle

This is a really neat idea. I love the designs. Would you please educate me as to what PUL fabric is? Thank you.

I am with Leaha. I don't know what PUL fabric is. But beautiful job and what a terrific idea!!!
I believe it's a non-toxic plastic lining that you can use in making items that touch food or things without contamination.

I see the info posted in rescuer's comments, no further explanation needed other that to say that yes it really is 95% waterproof.

Very creative! I like the use of the PUL fabric.
For those that have never encountered the fabric -- it is used mostly for cloth diapering and it is a gentler water-resistant fabric than plastic because it is soft and breathable. "PUL" (Polyurethane Laminate) is a fabric laminated with waterproof polyurethane on the back. (I am not sure if it is really waterproof but it is listed as waterproof)

Very cool project! I love the quilt that you have this on too! I have one of those drying mats I bought at a store and love it. I'll have to experiment and try stitching on it, or maybe just cover one side of it. Can you buy PUL at Joann's

I bought my PUL at Hobby Lobby
thanks and yes pul is available at Joann's

I've got a couple of these drying mats at the dollar store. Never thought about embroidering them...slipping I guess...we're suppose to automatically think "I can embroider that" right. LOL
