PLUM STREET SAMPLERS: Freebie

When I first started designing, I never thought that one day I'd actually be seeing something that I designed be stitched by others. It was just a dream of mine to design, but it's purely the icing on the cake that some stitchers out there actually like what I've done! Thank you, with all my heart. When I released Halloweenies, I thought there might be one or two people out there with dachshunds, at best. But I still thought it was a fun little design, so I went with it. Here are a couple of finishes that were sent to me recently... Andrea stitched it twice, one for each of her daughters, and then below,as a pillow for her mom. What beautiful finishing, Andrea! Pictured above is Nancy Daniels' framed piece. Here's another background: Enjoy your day! Pats Crocheted Scrubbie.

It won't scratch non-stick, and is very effective! Here is what you will need: Crochet hook size G or H (I used size I for the sake of the tutorial to make the pictures more readable, however, you may want to use a smaller gauge like a G or H to make the scrubbie tighter) 1/2 yard tulle, cut into 2 inch strips (9 strips total) **Edited: I have used tulle and netting for this scrubbie and they both work great. The netting scrubbie is a bit bigger than the tulle scrubbie when finished. Tie all the strips of tulle together to form a long length of tulle. Sewtakeahike. This weekend was a productive one!

Besides some painting in our downstairs, I managed to hand bind a pretty large quilt and sew a couple of quilt tops together. For this top, I used scraps and orphan blocks. It was completely liberating to make! And then this one is a goofy quilt made out of repros and vintage painted blocks. I'll tell you more about it in a few weeks! Then to top it all off, L-man and I spent some time yesterday with friends. I hope your weekend was filled with memorable moments! Xo, Penny. I know everyone has a potscrubber pattern. I know there is about a million of these patterns out there but this is my families favorite thing i make so I thought i would share [IMG] Marnie’s Nylon Netting Pot Scrubber 15 yards of nylon netting (not tulle) I buy it this way because I hate tying the ends.

These are handy in the kitchen for washing dishes and gentle enough to use on appliances and counter tops. Also tuck a few into your cleaning bucket since they wipe away fingerprints and scuffs found around the house (fine to use on painted walls). I love making these (they’re so quick & easy!) And am always looking for new patterns to try.
