and the winners are...

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers who voted in our laminated cotton project at the shop.  I am please to announce that Cambria took first place for her darling and inventive bowl covers, and Second place went to Linda for her picnic tote.  Congrats Girls!
That was a lot of fun and a good way for all of you to see just how many wonderful things you can make with laminated cotton.  Here is a look at all the entries:






Linda's Little apron.  She used the amazing Fuse and Gather that we have at the shop.  If you are putting a ruffle on any project, you just have to use this product!!! Absolutely Fabulous!










Sherri's Grocery bag cozy to organize all your plastic grocery bags.  And thanks for making one just for me!! I love it





Linda's Laptop tote.  It has a satin lining and elastic to hold all of your items in their place













A cute baby bib that also uses laminated bias strips for the binding, cut from your pinking blade. 










LuJean made a sewing organizer complete with a needle cozy and a pin cushion.  I love how she tied the spool of thread with ribbon, so that it is easy to unroll and use the thread while your are working.













a closer look at Cambria's bowl covers.  I have to make these for all of my bowls, jelly pans, cake plates etc!!!  Love them!










This is a panel from the line "Delighted"  by the Quilted Fish that we have in laminated and also in cotton.  Simply cut on the line, embellish and sew onto ric rac or bias tape.  This can be used outside for any gathering because...yes...it is made of laminated cotton!!!








And of course, the Amy Butler Raincoat lined with corduroy!  Wouldn't a matching umbrella be lovely? That just might be next on the list of projects....
















And last, but not least, the laminated lampshade.  Simple to make using basing spray!!













And the best part!!! Cambria and Linda have Gift Cards to spend!!!! Way to go girls, thanks for all your hard work! Now don't spend it all in one place
