Kitchen Love...A New Pattern!!!...

My new pattern for the kitchen canisters is ready!!! 

The pattern is called 

"Kitchen Love"

and it took me quite a while to finish it up because

 I kept on making projects to add!

I finally just had to stop because 

I seriously couldn't fit one more thing 

into the pattern:)

I really love making things for my kitchen and

 for other kitchens as well in the form of gifts:)

Included in the pattern is are my Day's of the Week dishtowels.

I used ready made flour-sack dishtowels by

Dunroven House 

and sewed fabric along the bottom after embroidering

 the days of the week with perle cotton. 

As well as dishtowels for hanging on the oven door.

The top is made using my large 

Thimble Ruler 

and

 I sewed rid-rac and my new ribbon along the bottom for trim.

A hot pad stitchery pattern is included

"Farm Fresh"

I used my Circle Ruler to sew a perfect circle after stitching.

Another fun little project is a fabric bowl!

I used my small Hexie Half Ruler for the bottom and

 my small Thimble Ruler for the side sections.

This would make a great little gift basket filled with all kinds of goodies..

or even a fun thread catcher.

I'm using it my kitchen to hold my mini

 "Hot Hexie's"

which I'll be telling you about in a minute.

The bowl is fast and easy to construct.

You just need 14 - 5" squares and some leftover batting.

I also used my 

Thimble Rulers and a my Circle Ruler 

to make these fun

"Strawberry Squared" potholders.

The back becomes quilted at the same time the strawberry top is sewn on.

Now for my large "Hot Hexie" potholders.

These are so fast and easy to make!

30 minutes tops including sewing on the hanging ring.

All you need is the large

 Hexie Half Ruler...

 3 - 10" squares of fabric and a 10" square of insul-brite.

One 10" square is for the back, one for the front, and one for the pocket!

The pocket on these Hot Hexies make it easy to 

slip your hand inside for folding when 

taking something hot out of the oven...

and is also perfect for gifting!

I think they are cute on their own ...

And even cuter filled with a few kitchen goodies for a fun gift.

Of course I made small ones using 5" squares 

along with my small Hexie Half Ruler.

I added a little bit of ribbon to these for extra cuteness:)

The small size is perfect for protecting your fingers while 

using the microwave!

The pocket is perfect for an herbal tea bag and sweetener 

or a small packet of hot cider or cocoa.

They are also the perfect size to use as a coaster!

There are so many possibilities for things

 to place in the cute little pockets:)

Didn't I tell you that 

I love to make things for my kitchen?????

Just take a look!!!

Kitchen Love!
