Weekend fun!

Well I searched and searched and couldn't figure out where I saw this.  I am SO sorry that I can't give credit.  I know it's a blog I read and love and comment on.  Sadly I couldn't find the post.  If it was 'you' , please speak up and I will sing your praises!!    Anyway,  check out my new/old kitchen towels (or tea towels if your prefer).  I took vintage tablecloths that I had and cut towel sized portions.  Then I just popped some binding on them.  Ta dah!                                       

It was fun picking out some nice bright fabrics for the bindings.

If you are worried about me cutting into vintage linens, I had already  cut into these to make some pillows a few years ago.                                                          

I made four of these because it was so easy.                     

See the red check that my mom gave me last week? 

I cut the bindings for the towels with my Accuuilt Go.  I had skinny little fabric strips left over so I started to play with them.  I wove them into square patches. I have been wanting to make some mug rugs and I have a swap coming up so I kept on playing.  Using one of my new books, Scandinavian Stitches by Kajsa Wikman, I threw on a little applique.                               

More of the red check from mom.

Birdies!                                                                        

And I have wanted to make a tiny banner for a while.  Just because.

See my weaving?                                                      A fun weekend.  Now I have to go out in the cold and drop my car off to be serviced tomorrow.  Maybe when I get back I'll put on my PJ's and have some hot chocolate.  Enjoy your week.  I have some thoughts about my studio arrangement that I'll share in the next post.  I have some kinks to work out with the arrangement.
