Sewing - three sets of potholders with some fun doggie fabric

I finished these off on the weekend.  The fronts had been cut with battings the same size.  I used the remaining red fabric to finish off these three sets of potholders.  They are 7" so just a little bit smaller than I usually make but that works anyway!!  I had already set aside some doggie fabric for the loops for one of the sets so the others just got red ones!!  Too easy!!  Another unfinished project out of the bin!!!  Will add these to my stash of potholders!!  Therese
 

Slow Stitching - cards with embroidered flower embellishments

I have been working on these for a while.  They are finally finished and I am please with how they worked out.  The embroidered flowers were cut from some fancy fabric that was being recycled while we were sorting for the Gramma Link Africa fabric sale.  I trimmed them out of the fabric,  layered them onto a woven fabric interfacing and then stitched them into place.  I layered them onto embossed brown cardstock and then onto off white cards.  They make really nice cards!!
