Christmas Idea

I'm the type of person who mulls over what to make family (and friends) for Christmas. I think about this for MONTHS before I actually decide on what to do.  I do like to make useful items rather than decorative things that will only be used once a year, however; this year I came upon an idea that could be both useful and decorative--hanging dish towels with matching pot holders! Now we all know that you can NEVER have too many kitchen towels or pot holders, so I think these will be wonderful gifts! And I can make them in either Christmas, kitchen, or novelty fabrics.

Tutorial Tuesday: Kitchen Helpers

I have been seriously lacking on my tutorial Tuesday posts, so I think I'd better make that up! I've decided to do two tutorials today instead of just one. Hopefully you will find both items useful! The first tutorial I want to tell you about is a reusable produce bag by Mauby's. She's a fellow tweet, quilter,and  pattern maker.  This bag will make your produce last longer in your fridge, and best part is, won't cost much to make!

Since we seem to be having a kitchen theme going, let's make our next tutorial also something you can use for kitchen. These are cute and handy hanging dish towels from Sassy Sanctuary. You make these using--well dish towels--so no extra fabric is needed.  You can make these to match your kitchen decor or even for holidays. They would also make great gifts!
