Hello. Me again. Long time no see. The short story is home (not so sweet) home is still where the sewing machine is, and still not where I've spent a lot of time. Plus, I've actually been busy with other things. Who knew?
I was able to fit in two sewing projects last week, but I will only show you one. The other was an experiement that I made up as I went along. Which went about as well as you'd expect.
I got
Rashida's book, I Love Patchwork, for Christmas and have dog eared (sike! I can't ever bring myself to dog ear books, but they're marked in my head) a whole ton of things that I want to make. I've been holding on to a charm pack of Rouenneries, so I grabbed the scissors before I could change my mind and hoard them even longer, and made this.
I know, it's just a kitchen towel, but I still love it. It was a really easy project, which made it quick AND fun (except for that one time when I burned my finger trying to press that curve under 1'4"). I think the Rouenneries looks great with linen, and I'm glad I used it. I'm also glad that I needed such small pieces that I've still got a whole bunch of charm squares left over. I'm thinking of the table runner in the book to match the towel, yes?
