WIP Wednesday and something completely different

More progress this week on my yellows and greys!  

I finished sandwiching and quilting the Garden Fence quilt and it's ready for binding.  



I have the sashing almost finished on the Puddle Jumping quilt ~ no new pics of the front yet, but I did finally decide what to do with the back!  Here's just a sneak peak because I haven't shown it to anyone yet - shhhh.


Now for the something different ~ I've always wanted to learn how to make a fabric coiled bowl, so when one of our guild members offered to teach us, I had to say YES!  Here's my first bowl ~ love it!!  I see more of these in all kinds of shapes and sizes.  :)


That's it for today!  Linking up with Lorna at Let's Bee Social and Lee at WIP Wednesday.

A little finish for Friday

Just one little finish today ~ not quilting exactly, but it involves the use of my sewing machine!   

I tried out a new tutorial to make some last-minute gifts ~ microwaveable fabric bowls by Kathy at Tamarack Shack.  Kathy defines these as "a hot pad that allows you to take a hot bowl right out of the microwave without burning your hands!"  Here are a couple of pics from her tutorial:





I made my first set (just the 8" and the 10" for now) out of some nautical/beachy fabrics.  The tutorial is well written, with lots of photos ~ easy to follow ~ and I LOVE the way they turned out!  The only change I made was to stitch across the diagonals on each side.






As you can see, they're also reversible ~ bonus!
