I finally got around to finishing my Trivet!!! It’s not a hard project at all, but when I put it on the back burner and leave it there – it takes FOREVER to get it done!!! I’m sure if I had put my mind to it, it could have been made in an afternoon!
My Trivet was made with fabric from the Island Batik collection “Winter Sky.” The inside has a layer of insul-brite and a layer of Hobbs 80/20. It was finished using a variegated blue Aurifil thread on the top and Aurifil #2000 on the bottom.
This trivet is for Joy’s One gift a Month! You can go to Days Filled With Joy for information and the link to the tutorial.
This made me Smile
As I was out walking my daughter’s dog this morning, I saw this … and I had to stop and take a picture. I know I’ve seen it before, but sometimes I forget to take my phone with me. Today I had it!! Can’t you just imagine the fun thoughts that someone has about this fairy door and the variety of painted rocks next to it?

Hi Gail, that’s a cute Trivet! Small projects often get put on the back burner, don’t they. I managed to get a couple of those done this week. It was nice to finish something instead of making more (which I did too!) Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Have a great weekend.

Hi Andrée, it is cute! Good for you getting a few made! They will make lovely gifts … or will look great on your own table! 🙂
