Remember those two little 40" x 48" Quilt As You Go panels that I had made in July?
Well, I know that I had said that I wanted to play around with joining them together, but I changed my mind. I've done so many potholders with machine binding that I felt that my skills were well sharpened.
I chose my binding fabric carefully. The chocolate with the golden tan squiggled stripe was a Retro Geo line by Faye Burgos, I think. Perfect!!!!
I had just one yard of it, but I loved the way it looked on the first panel. I wanted to do the second panel's binding in the same fabric. Would I have enough?
I held my breath and worked on applying the binding and had EXACTLY a three inch piece leftover. Whew! But it is on and machine bound.
I wanted to offer these two for sale at the Olde Home Day that Gilmanton, New Hampshire celebrates on Saturday where I'll have a booth on the midway.
I did put simple labels on them, naming them both, "Cattails & Clover," after the Kansas Troubles Moda title.
Because I used an Andover Jo Morton for one backing, and a Henry Glass cheddar for the other, neither one of these quilts can qualify as being 100% Kansas Troubles fabric. That means that they are not eligible for the Kansas Troubles Quilt Contest. The link is here, if you are interested.
Oh well, if I can't enter them, maybe I can sell them!
Also this morning, I machine bound the last two Sawtooth Star Potholders! So now my potholder basket is all full and ready for the sale. My goal had been to get 20 made and I did 24 for a full two dozen. Yippee!!!!
The potholders are priced at $6 each or two for $10. Tomorrow I will make a few more catnip mice to sell for $2 each. I have about 30 now but I like to start with 50 of the mice. Maybe I won't sell anything, but I'll be prepared, LOL!
Happy sewing!
