We are expecting the grand kids later this week so this has
been a day for housekeeping and clearing out the sewing room to make room for
air mattresses. We are well on our way
to being ready for Thanksgiving which is a good thing because the grocery store
is already a madhouse. The only machine
work I’ll probably be able to do this week will be tomorrow when I join my
friends for our regular Tuesday sewing group.
It will be interesting to see how many regulars make it.
I decided to take a break from paper piecing long enough to
make one potholder. I’m still struggling
with how to machine finish the binding on these little projects. Wanda has some tips on how she finishes her
mug rugs that help, but I’m just haven’t gotten to a point where I’m happy
with my results. Part of the problem may be that
I use recycled terry cloth for the filler and that makes the thickness vary
from potholder to potholder.
We are expecting rain later this week, but for now the weather is brisk and sunny. The dogs are at the fence begging for treats from the golfers.

We do the same thing when the grandkids arrive to spend the weekend. Plus being sure to put the rolling carts with scissors,, pins and rotary cutters in our own room. It's wonderful having them visit, wouldn't trade it for the world. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
The cleaning and shifting is all worth it! I'm hoping to sew on Friday. We're having cool weather, such a welcome change. Have a wonderful time!
There is a potholder tute on my blog...I always turn the back over and use Insul-brite....I buy the bolt from Hobby Lobby with my 40% coupon..so worth it.
