tick tick boom

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!

  19. 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

  20. 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!

  21. 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...

  24. 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!

  25. All looking great Jodie - are you getting any sleep? The anticipation for the selvedge project is killing me.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Please tell me those potholders will be in your Etsy shop one day? (Please? Pleeeeeeaaaaaase?)

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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.

  29. 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

  30. For a moment there I thought the buckets were stubby holders. Now there's an idea for getting men into craft!!

  31. Also keenly awaiting the selvedge project.

  32. I am completely in love with these pot holders!! These would be perfect additions to your sadly sadly sadly empty etsy shop (sniff). xx

  33. 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.
