Christmas Projects 2016

  Gingerbread Potholders

I love gingerbread boys and they are my favorite to make at Christmas.  Well the cookie part has not yet begun but I did make potholders that are gifts for friends.

They are so cute and were easily made.  I found the idea online! Free pattern (my favorite kind)!  It's a nine patch made out of 2.5" squares. The potholder is small but would work as a trivet or a mug rug.  My special friends will receive them on Monday at Knitting Krowd.  Excited to share.
Here's the crowd, group or bunch of them.

 Project Runner for the Owl Cabinet

I used Lori Holt's (Bee In My Bonnet) book Quilty Fun  to make this runner!  Love her book and some day hope to make the Christmas quilt titled " Have Yourself a Quilty Little Christmas".  The blocks are all made from the book. No time this year, maybe 2017.  Here's the runner and my display.  Snowmen of course and the Santa owls were gifts from former first grade students, love the memories!

More projects are in the machine.... Watch for additional completed projects next week!
