My Sunday Projects....

I had a fairly productive day with my sewing today!

I joined the Sweetwater "Label Crew" a couple of weeks ago & asked them to send both the Dec. & Jan. projects.  I made the Dec. project today - a journal cover.  I love their iron on labels (aren't they cute?) and I thought this one was perfect with the "Etchings" fabric I decided to use for the squares.  The lining is from a line called "Inkwell" - how's that for a journal?  ;-)

And I've need some new potholders for several months & couldn't find any I liked.  I used this Waverly fabric to cover my kitchen chair seats and I also have placemats out of it.  I decided to make my own potholders using the fabric after I ran across it while I was getting out Christmas decorations last month.  I finally got around to it today - I  made eight.  Yep, that's a lot, but it should do for awhile, don't you think?  I used Insul-Bright (which is heat resistant) and a layer of cotton batting.  Simple but still pretty I think.

I stitched some yesterday on a piece called "Let's Sew" by Urslua Michaels/Imaginating.  I hope to get back to it tomorrow.  We're doing a very informal SAL in the Pals group.  Can't wait to see how creative everyone gets with theirs. 

Thanks for stopping by - have a great week ahead.  Happy stitching & sewing!
