We were going camping last week and I needed a new slow stitching project as I had finished up the little birds the previous week. I choose some coordinating fabrics and decided to do circles!! I worked out the size I would need for the circles for the 7" potholders I will be making. I decided to use the circle and the hole I cut to get the circle so there will two views of these to make a set. After cutting the circles I cut out a backer for the circles and the stitched the circle to the backer with my sewing machine to keep them in the proper alignment and ensure I don't misplace any. I started this set with a running stitch which follows the sewing machine stitching line in the colours of the two other circles - so blue and yellow will be used on the brown circle. I did a double whipped stitch on the running stitch to get this cool looking stitched line. It was really easy to do. I got the idea from my sister, Sylvia, who is following
K3N Cloth Tales on her 2025 year long slow stitching project. Katherine was talking about this technique in one of her videos and after Sylvia description I was able to stitch this line. I will have to check and see if this ones is similar to Katherine's. It is a start on this four piece project - two sets of potholders!!! Therese
