    I'm making potholders to go with the dishcloths I knitted for co-workers. I made a pillow cover for my DD. And I made myself a decoration to go on my front door.

    I have almost finished several sets of placemats and matching napkins and just ordered fabric for some table runners. However, I like for these to lie very flat so I have fused these and not quilted them. Does that count? I am going to make everyone sets of microwave bowls and those will be quilted. Also homemade soaps and some rice bags.

    I don't know a website but I do know how to make them. Hopefully I can explain it to you. Easiest is to use 5 " squares from a charm pack or cut your own. You need 5 pieces or 6 if you want to add batting(which i do as it makes them a bit stronger). Fold 4 pieces in half(iron or finger fold).If using batting I take 2 pieces of squares and sandwich a piece of batting in between and sew an X across them with right sides out.If no batting the bottom (5th piece) will be facing up. Start to lay your folded pieces with finished edges in/raw edges to outside on top of bottom or 5th piece. The next piece lays across half of the previous piece so it looks woven. Make sure the pieces are close together in center and edges are lined up with your bottom piece. I f using batting, I use my walking foot and sew all around edges with a 1/4" inch seam other wise use whatever foot you use for piecing.Once that is done you just start turning it inside out. Keep turning until it is flat , push out your corners and press. Hint: if using a print that has a design you want on top, lay that side face down as that will be the side that becomes the top.
    If needed I could prob come up with pictures for you.
    Hope that helps

    I have one quilt, slightly smaller than a full that is ready to be basted and quilted. That is for SIL. One for my MIL haven't started yet and a 90 x90" quilt for my DD. That is after I finish my new DGS quilt and my DIL's. Those two have to be finished by next week, as that's when we're leaving for TX. These quilts will conclude my obligation quilts.
