Never heard of a calendar holder. What a great idea.

It's wonderful. And I love the potholder too.

You are very creative!

Your projects are great!! :thumbup: I love the fabric's you used & the ideas you made up. Thank you for sharing with us.
:D :D :D :D

fantastic!

I would like to have the pattern too!! I have never heard of a calendar holder.

Great idea to "pretty up" a basic calendar. Love all the fabrics for both projects.

I love both. If you share the pattern, may I be on the list to receive. It is so cute that I know several of my sewing friends that would enjoy having it.

I would love to have more information on your calendar holder too. I had plans to make one but haven't yet. I was going to do mine a little differently though, based on a paper one that I bought several years ago from the Hallmark store.

The calendar is on top and it has a pocket underneath the calendar to hold your monthly bills, etc. You could then do quilting or embroidery on the pocket and maybe a decorative border around the calendar part. I loved my paper calendar like this so much that when I couldn't find them anymore I taped a new calendar on it for two years in a row, lol! It was so cute, you couldn't tell that I had cheated, lol!!

I absolutely love the calendar holder. I am really looking forward to seeing the instructions when you have time to post them. I am very interested in trying to make one. A great idea and gift.

Ok here are the instructions for the calendar holder. I hope you are abel to figure them out. Enjoy and have fun with them, post pics so I can see what you come up with.
