We made covers for casserole dishes or bowls. Only two got made today but several other people were there and plan to make them at home.<br />
<br />
These are simple covers, not insulated carriers. These are going to be useful especially for outdoor parties and such.<br />

We have a lot of fabric donated to us so we cut a lot into 2 1/2 inch strips and a few other shapes to make other kits.  We also cut up a lot of pillowcase kits.</p> <p>Here are some of the strips – we had both regular cottons and batiks.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XM-z0GReAdE/VhhoHAczyKI/AAAAAAAAXmU/Y2EiBLuPbrY/s1600-h/0915%252520Strips%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="0915 Strips" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="0915 Strips" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-v1YTzV5GEX4/VhhoHsKR34I/AAAAAAAAXmY/cFnW1PMoN0Q/0915%252520Strips_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pnILUduDyoU/VhhoIHo2enI/AAAAAAAAXmg/eoYSLHuwjEY/s1600-h/0915%252520Batik%252520Strips%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="0915 Batik Strips" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="0915 Batik Strips" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eIWXtwtt-lk/VhhoIg5zXyI/AAAAAAAAXmo/abNmetivKaM/0915%252520Batik%252520Strips_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484" /></a></p> <p>I took these photos fairly early and the boxes were almost full of strips by the end of the day.  Later on we sorted the batiks and make jelly roll equivalents.  We ended up with 14 full batik jelly rolls and several partial ones.</p> <p>Barb made sloppy Joes – very good and there were lots of chips and other goodies to go with.  There were a couple of cakes and the most Dunkin Donuts boxes I have seen in one place.  There were enough donuts for the whole police force!</p> <p>Fun day!</p> <p>Melinda</p> Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928642510523047954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-26382110366144042562015-10-07T22:44:00.001-04:002015-10-07T22:44:40.957-04:00Make and Take Projects<p>Every year I teach a Make and Take day at Tiny Stitches.  It is scheduled for November 15.  We always have a fun time and the students go home with several projects that they take home – usually completed or very close to being completed.</p> <p>Here are the projects for this year.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6-XvLk0gEXQ/VhXYltxiQkI/AAAAAAAAXl4/kpNdMGNfp7w/s1600-h/1015%252520Make%252520and%252520Take%252520Projects%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="1015 Make and Take Projects" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="1015 Make and Take Projects" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kNjek3VTk9U/VhXYlwMUYwI/AAAAAAAAXl8/UZDfAL1KV_M/1015%252520Make%252520and%252520Take%252520Projects_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="462" height="484" /></a></p> <p>There is a bag, a covered journal, a covered (wool) tape measure, a table runner and a fold up tool bag that doubles as a pad for your sewing machine, keeping your tools handy.</p> <p>Melinda</p> Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928642510523047954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28043441.post-72542260270398044482015-09-23T22:26:00.001-04:002015-09-23T22:26:08.606-04:00Fabric Clocks<p>We made fabric clocks at guild yesterday.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yySGNrGBFmA/VgNfPZVE-FI/AAAAAAAAXlM/i3vi3ONWHrs/s1600-h/0915%252520Clocks%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="0915 Clocks" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="0915 Clocks" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bSTco9qqirE/VgNfP7nb_aI/AAAAAAAAXlQ/OPHPYlHkgh8/0915%252520Clocks_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="451" /></a></p> <p>The one on the lower left is mine.  I love them all!</p> <p>Melinda</p> Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928642510523047954noreply@blogger.com3
