QAYG - another set of potholders

 I managed to get a second set of potholders made up today.  I worked on making up several sets last weekend and I will work on getting them done as time allows.  You can check out the first set here. 

I am really liking how well I can get the corners lined up using this technique.  

I am joining the great bunch of stitchers at Kathy's Quilts - Slow Sunday Stitching!! Check them out for a lot of inspiring projects.

Slow Stitching - handstitched and machine stitched journal covers

 

The hand stitching on these little quilts has been done for quite a while now. To create them I trimmed a backer then trimmed out a front and batting that were just a bit smaller than the backer.  I simply folded the backer to the front and hand stitched the edge to finish the little quilt.  You can see my original stash of them here.  The next few batches are here and here.  Here you can see the journal cover I made for myself to keep track of our trailer journeys with all the hand stitching finished. Here you can see the first steps of getting it constructed.  Today I dug out the baggie of little quilts and thought I would get a journal cover made up with them.  To my surprise I was able to complete four journal covers.  I have the layout in the top photo and then the finished journal cover to the left.  The other three journal covers are below with the layout first and the finished journal cover below it.  These will be donated to fundraisers coming up later this year so I will be spending some time slow stitching each little quilt with coordinating embroidery thread.  They are a little wonky but I was happy to get them done!!  

I am connecting with the stitchers at Kathy's Quilts - Slow Sunday Stitching.  Head on over and see what these very creative stitchers are up to!!!  Always inspirational!!  Therese
