Who's the Boss in Your Kitchen?

One of my projects this summer has been to recyle this worn out quilt into things for our home.

I love all the different colors and materials which are soft and weathered..

It was hard to cut it up, I felt even guilty about doing it...

 but once these first two pillows were made...

it felt like this quilt was being loved all over again..

and they fit in perfectly with the style of our home...

But theres a lot of quilt...so I decided to make some potholders..

and while it's the same concept as making a pillow,

the potholders were hard to make..

 I think I broke three sewing machine needles making them..

all the layers of the quilt were too heavy..

these were a lot of work..

but they fit in perfectly with this vintage tin that I got many, many years ago

on eBay..

I hung the tin on the side of the refrigerator using some of those 3M removable hooks...

and here's the completed project.....

I'm linking to these parties.....
