After some consultation with The List this morning I decided to work on a few samples for Stitches and Craft. I have gocco'd some little boy and little girl panels so thought I should make up a few things to give people ideas on how to use them apart from the mini quilts. Yes?
So ...Buckets ....Tick
Pot holders....Tick.
and then 3 solid hours of selvedge sewing. (yep, that's 3 hours worth )
This new, not-so-big-but-kinda-more-technical project is soooo exciting.
Please don't tell "The Frock" but I like this new project even better.....
Oh and did you know that the current issue of Real Living has a two-for-one deal on tickets to the Stitches and Craft show. Its right on the front cover-you can't miss it! So come on , grab a friend and come along and say Hi........ I might need you to take over the stall while I have a wee break!

;-)

I love those cheeky girls!
Ladies an' gennamen I give you...
The Return of the Selvedge Queen!!
I would love to come to the show and bring you a bottle of wine... but the bus isn't running to Aus that day...dammit!
I've still got a little bag of selvedge to add to the project if you need it. Can't wait to see what this one is!

Those pot holders are mighty fine!
Are you excited yet?? I'm looking forward to seeing the real things (and you) at the show.
Love those girls - brilliant!
I love everything but I think the buckets are my favourite, all tape measure-y and stuff... can't wait to see what the new selvedge project will look like when its finished!
Potholders are great! Can't wait to see the new selvedge project. (And thank you for the cool magnet that arrived in the mail today). My hubby cracked up at a letter adddressed to Michelle Super Monkey.
I need about 100 of those buckets to deal with all my crap!
Can't wait to see what all those selvedges will become this time..
I love that the speech in the bubbles are not so saccharine, I had to look twice at them! Very apt, they're great!
wow! Look at those selvedges. Still saving for you, but they'll be a while. Perhaps for the next big project (after this big one!)
Wow -even I beat Locket!!
I love those pot holders and the 'crap' buckets! As for the selvedge project - oooh, it's beautiful! Can't wait to see it in all it's glory :-)

oooh love these new projects and the Selvedge one - can't wait to see it, I haven't forgotten I was sending you some I just haven't cut them off yet!! ooops, do you still want them????
Love those pot holders. I wish I could come and be your wee break stand in!
Oh, I look forward to seeing the new project!
Fun pot holders and cans! Love them. I can't believe that your next selvedge project is better than the Frock?!! I can't wait to see.
Whoa....I'm still trying to get my head around all those selvedges. That's a lot of sewing!!
I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Sounds like you had a good day over there. Fantastic stuff as always. Good job.
Locket... where are yoooooou?
Methinks I need one of those pot holders hanging around my neck at the moment just to remind people how hot it is here!!
Love the crap buckets. BTW I've been spending the time between tv shows selvedge cutting. :P
I have a growing collection of selvedges here. They might look right at home in your beautiful work. I can't imagine the dedication required to stitch selvedges for three solid hours!
I LOVE ALL OF IT...
and you think a pot would be going anywhere near that holder...
those beauty's need framing...
so wish i could go to the show...i'd give you a whole lunch break if i could...
You have been mighty busy!! I am off to buy the mag with the ticket deal, May read it in the 45 degree heat tomorrow!! keep up the sewing.. Your stand is going to be awesome!! You really need a container of special bickies under the counter for friendly visitors... hint hint!!
Love the "hot" pads!
I love the little girls!
You are a legend!!! Love those potholders, and the buckets too. All those selvedges, makes my eyes water! :)
EXCUSE ME Trashy and Moogs! Some of us had to go to work today! (Doesn't mean I didn't have a sneaky peek at your blog!)
By the way, I sent you a small parcel of selvedges on Wednesday - hope they're not too late for the new project!
Locket xxxxx
P.S. However early they comment, I still LOVE YOU MORE than the other 2!
All looking great Jodie - are you getting any sleep? The anticipation for the selvedge project is killing me.
Those buckets are fabulous!!!
Please tell me those potholders will be in your Etsy shop one day? (Please? Pleeeeeeaaaaaase?)
Love the buckets as I have lots of crap to put in them! thanks for the heads up on the two for one deal! See you there :D
Hmmm, more technical but not as big - the only thing I can think of is a computer cover, or maybe a sewing machine cover. Do you stitch them onto a backing, or just to one another? They look super! I sent a small packet on Monday; they should get there soon.
The potholders are ..well.. they're hot! Maybe I should go to this S&C show, seeing as I'm going to the blog dinner
I adore the buckets. Adore them.
For a moment there I thought the buckets were stubby holders. Now there's an idea for getting men into craft!!
Also keenly awaiting the selvedge project.
I am completely in love with these pot holders!! These would be perfect additions to your sadly sadly sadly empty etsy shop (sniff). xx
Cute stuff. Love the "crap" and "more crap". Love it. I tell you everywhere I wear my selvege scarf someone mentions it to me. It is so warm and snuggy in the cold weather. Thank you again.
just found your blog and i love this idea. no more selvages in the trash. i totally want to copy this idea and make one for my very own. pamela www.frenchknots.blogspot.com
Love the potholders!
