Oven cloth
Have been busy sewing the shirts so not very exciting but satisfying. Yesterday I made some fabric from a give away in to a oven cloth for a special friend who saw the new issue of a quilting magazine advertises on TV with material give away. She was up early the day the issue went on sale and was at the stockiest as it opened and bought me the issue.
New quilting mag released last week in OZ for Beginners with my finished Oven cloth made from the free fabrics plus some of mine!!!!!.
I’m not a beginner but decided to make the block up for my friend as she had been so thoughtful. The block you were to make up you can see top right hand corner of the mag under Quilting, was to end up a 8″ square but there was enough fabric of the green and pink to make the squares larger but not the blue so I added some white to the blue and have ended up with a 11″ oven cloth!!!! A much more practical size. I have used a some thick felt I made from an old woolen blanket and backed it with 100% cotton so it is fireproof. My friend is baking all the time for church stalls, friends, and her family so this will be a perfect for her. Over the week-end in the evenings I have been so tired I have just sat and went to bed early so no hand sewing. Now it is back to those shirts today!!!! and a little work on restoring a high chair
A old high chair that is covered in grim I have washed it now it needs steam cleaning then a lot of elbow grease!!!!!!
for my grandson, this chair has seen many years and little cleaning I picked it up in a Opp Shop as a give away as it was in need of so much TLC. I’m steam cleaning off all the grim first then it will be sanding and finally painting.
Have a happy day what ever you are doing Cheers Glenda
