I've been quietly quilting presents for Christmas -- and since my three daughters internet savvy, (one even blogs!) I cannot say much about what's been cooking in my sewing room. But this blog entry I simply must bring to your attention:
Lunch Bags Are Not Just For Lunches Anymore blog post by Carolyn Aune is sure to inspire your last minute gift giving of the colorful AND useful type!
You'll want to order some heat resistant "insul-fleece" batting. After reading a bit about it, I've ordered some for a casserole carrier I am making for one of my daughters. (OK, the cat is halfway out of the bag. But at least they don't know which one is getting it!) Check out the Meet Insul-Fleece blog posting over at CTPubBlog.For instance, I had the same question as a few others who are just discovering this project -- namely, is there a right or wrong side of the fleece for enhancing the heat resistant properties? The answer...
is NO, there is no right or wrong side. This same blog entry features an 8" x 8" casserole cozy that I think is idea for dressing up your holiday table. (Halfway through the directions, they start calling the project a casserole carrier, but since it has no lid, I don't think that qualifies. The cozy ties in each corner, and isn't at ALL like the larger casserole carrier I'm making that requires a 9" x 13" covered casserole pan for the inside.)
What projects are your working on -- that you can share with the gang?

This looks like a great idea. I will share it with my granddaughter. I just posted about her beginning quilting. http://joyoustomorrows.blogspot.com/2010/12/first-quilting-project-growth-chart.html
ReplyDeleteI heard about a quilt etc for the Burbank Jamboree?
ReplyDeleteAlso looking for a pattern for baby quilt. Most of my old ones are intensive.
Brain drain. Maybe by next week idea will come to mind. Anyone want to share. I do have one crocheted blanket done and another almost. But want to quilt up one and make maybe a scrapbook for baby, parents to retain.
A cousin did one many years ago,
