Apron Pot Holders

I made some apron potholders for Christmas gifts. One of these days, I'll post the pattern.

Darn it, they need a bow don't they? Erg. I wanted to be done!

Kinda Purdy.....I zigzagged the sides down and used clear thread for the pockets.

They are lined with Insulbright and one layer of batting. I don't like how the insulbright makes a crinkly noise, but at least they should reflect heat good. :o)

More Jovial and Jelly Girl

                               Some of my favorite Squares...

 

The black is "Christmas Countdown" by moda

Trying to choose a border. I have two fabrics I thought might work.

White?...

Green?...

Vintage Red and White Potholders

 

Look at the TREASURE I found at the Antiques store! Some vintage red and white potholders. I've been wanting to make some, but now,... there's no rush.

 

 

I cleaned them with some biz. It got the stains out really well, but faded some of the colors. :P I should have been more patient and gone a gotten some retro clean. I know it works great. You soak the items for a couple of days in the sun to keep the water warm, but not too warm.

Jovial Christmas fabric and Jelly Girl Pattern by Joanna Fig Tree

At Christmas time I like work on my Christmas Quilts. (of course) I started Jovial a year or two ago. I thought it would be cute to make sort of peppermint candies with it. Perfect with Fig Tree's Jelly Girl Pattern. At first, I took out all the black, but...

 

 

Later, I saw a picture with the black in it, and I really liked it, so I took out a few squares and added some black from a similar line!

 

Here's how the blocks go together. No "Y" seams!! Those are dreadful.

 

 

Now, if just had some leisure time to actually sew....
