Pincushion Thread Catcher.....Class


I attended a Quilt Retreat this week...



We started out the retreat by stitching up

Pincushion Thread Catchers





If you have never made one of these,

there are a lot of online tutorials out there...





Once you make one,

you will wonder how you got along without it.

Bowling...



I caught the Bowl bug...



This is the third Fabric Wrapped Bowl 

this week...



After 2 oval bowls,

I made a round bowl:


I rolled the top edge of the bowl..... down






I like it !


I put all of the bowl making supplies 

away in the closet.

I need to move on.

Fabric Wrapped Clothesline.....Bowl


I haven't made a 

fabric wrapped clothesline bowl

in 5 years...


I thought I would give it a try:


Just as much FUN as I remembered !





The fabric strips are a few 

batiks and some hand dyes...





The oval shape was easier than I remembered...






It is rainy, dark and gloomy outside...

these colors cheered me up !





This one will replace the one I made 5 years ago 

that we store our remote controls in.
