These were just too much fun to make!!!! Thanks Jess for such a fabulous Saturday Special project!!!! These were made out of the fabrics I have for my kitchen and dining room curtains, so it all matches. The red came out a bit orange in the pic but it is actually brick red!!

Well done Cindy!! I love the fabrics and Billy Lynne is going to be very pleased I bet!! What a sweet Momma you are. I am making all of these for my DMIL for Mother's Day, I think she will love the fabrics.

Speaking of fabrics, I was going through my stash to find bits and pieces for this, and I ran across the ugliest fabric... I am sure I bought it to use as a tree trunk somewhere... anyway, when I put it with the other fabrics for this project, it went great! And it looks super good in the placemat, which you will see later. Here is the ugly....

Hello ... I have two pot holders done ... but I am having trouble posting a picture ... and they are so pretty, too.  I will keep trying to post.

I found I had to switch to my walking foot as my machine did not like going thorugh all those folded layers of fabric.
