I have done the Ks in hotpads and they took awhile to sell in the store so I kinda put them on the back burner so to speak. I have revived the idea again because I am taking my stuff to Old Threshers this fall and I wanted to find a way to use them that would sell.
Old Threshers Reunion is a big event that draws people from all over the world. It is themed around the antique tractors and the 1800's. It covers over 3 miles and has a permanent old time village and they have 3 or 4 old trains they use and ground carts so people can go from one side of the park to another. It is big on crafts and demonstrations. They do reenactments of gun fights and rob the train and rob the bank etc. It is a lot of fun.
I never felt I could do it before but so many have urged me to that i and my friend Dorothy with help from my daughter are going to do it this year.
So I am now sewing some of the Ks onto canvas totes and will add a pocket on the back side with the original material.
I probably will make some into hotpads and I am still looking for a better idea to use them. Any suggestions??
