My soul is fed with needle and thread...

I needed just one more day of sewing therapy, so I headed to the craft room with a project in mind. I'm sure these fabrics look familiar, it is more from my "bliss" stash, LOL! I got to use my rotary cutter, cutting mat and the easy square. I can see how these tools would be a necessity to a quilter. I managed to walk away with just one injury. :o)


Can you guess what I made?


Who can't use another potholder??? These are like socks in my house, they always go missing!

Here it is sans "quilting."
All finished! I measured everything twice before I cut, but still ended up with a little strip of green on the end. Don't know how that happened, everything matched up... I swear! Anyway, it's my first quilted project, and I love it!

"Finished is way better than perfect!"

If I have time, I will be sneaking in my sewing room more often... but I have a really big knitting custom order hanging over my head that I must finish.

Till next time, xoxo

Turned out great, the green being thinner is actually better, in my opinion, than all 3 equal. Think of some sewing as the "sharpen the saw" step in 7 Highly Effective Habits. As long as you limit the sewing time, it will give you a break when you need it. Maybe, *do a step, knit for an hour, do the next step,knit again* repeat from *2* :)
