Potters Charm

Hi Everyone

I posted after the first of the new year telling you what I had been up too for the past 6 months and what I was working on. Somehow it got erased. So I will just update you on what's happening.

Before christmas I was working on a rope bag/purse for my sister carol



It was made out of clothes line rope and batiks. She was surprised and loved it.

Next I was working on my Sister Cindy's table Runner called Potters Charm, the purpose was to match the table runner to her polish dishes. I took the pattern from the Spring 2016 Primitive Quilts Magazine,which is my favorite magazine out there. This project was challenging because I had learned new techniques. The first thing was making the circles with a cardboard template it took me time to get used to it but when i was done I was confident about how to make them. Next, I learned how to do a chain stitch for the vine.  Then sewing wool to cotton, which was not my favorite. I prefer wool on flannel(much easier) But in the end I loved how it came out.
                                                                          


Do you think they Match?

I am still working on my Yo Yo Quilt and can't wait to get it done.
Blessings
Cheryl
