FIBER JUNKIES - Part Two - JAN. MEETING

Denny was our show and tell hero for the first meeting of 2019......making us wonder if she ever sleeps!?

 Denny made this handy travel iron caddy pad using a pattern by Sisters' Common Thread available at connectingthreads.com.  Not only does it allow you to never get stuck trying to transport a hot iron, it does it in such a clever and stylish manner. 
 It's a great way to use up some of your experimental surface design fabric you've been wondering what to do with!
Place an iron in the center, fold in the sides, and secure with the aid of an elastic cord and large button.
 Of course we told Denny this would make really nice gifts as well!  Hint....
 This is the final roundup of Denny's marathon 2018 year of creating about a dozen (I think) large patchwork and appliqué quilts.  It's been said a thousand times when view photos of quilts....."it's so much better in person."  And of course each and every one is.  Do take a moment to enlarge the photos and you'll get a glimmer at how skillfully she created them.  Beautifully constructed with perfect pattern & color distribution.




This group never fails to inspire and encourage personal growth.

Love that iron carrier. Sounds like you have a great group.

Nancy said...

I have one of the iron caddies, and they are a great help in traveling from workshops without waiting for the iron to cool down. Oh, those dark backgrounds- wonderful.

Could your group just clone Denny and share her with us all!!!!
