By this time of the year, my 'Scrap Basket'
is overflowing. That is if I've been sewing. And I have.
Does that sound like a good reason for not blogging? It will have to do...it's all I've got. Well, then there's...I've been gone...and, I've gone back to work...at a real J O B.
As before, it's part time. As before, it's at the local fabric store, and as before, it's a den of
iniquity temptation for a 'Recovering Fabriholic'.
I'm not taking any 'I won't buy more fabric' vows! I know better than to make a liar out of myself.
So, what's in your laundry basket? Silly question, I know, and I'm sure you have laundry in yours, where I have an overflow of unwashed....
FABRIC SCRAPS!
What do I do with them? I make 'Mug Rugs', pot holders, diddy bags, place mats, crazy quilt blocks, and so on.
Those little things make great gifts, and who doesn't need pot holders. My family stays well stocked with pot holders, and now that they make a heat resistant lining on the bolt, they are not just for hanging above the stove and looking pretty. I like to see them being used, afterall they are washable and they are familiar with the laundry basket...the place of their origin.
Can you guess who's mug is going on the next 'Mug Rug'?
