Blogs, potholders, and tutorials

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! I took a little break from blogging and sewing to just sit back and enjoy time with my family. Now, I'm anxious and ready to get back to sewing!

First, I wanted to mention a blog I came across recently which I love. Well, more than the blog, I love the things they create and show in it! Beautiful handcrafted items from a pair of sisters down under. They publish their own patterns as well.

Here is one of the potholders I've made to replace my own ratty ones that needed to be tossed. I used more of the Moda fabric that I've had for far too long. I think I'm going to see just how many things I can make from this fat quarter collection. The tally so far is 3 pillows, three potholders, and one bag.

A tutorial for making potholders like the one I made can be found at BubbaChic, along with more cute ideas!
