Caught up in Stitches

Here's a few great new samples from Eileen (in the Fabrics Department.) She used some of our new dishtowels and the Caught Up In Stitches Pattern: "Bird Tales." They turned out adorable and it only took her about an hour to make each towel!

Brenda did these two adorable samples. It's a very creative idea too.


Supplies: a glass block, vinyl rub-on (of your choice), glass marbles/gems, Envirotex, string of lights.



Directions: Apply rub-on to front of the block (follow directions in rub-on package.) Lay glass block on its side (face down). Place glass marbles or gems along the bottom (on what will be the front of the block.) Pour Envirotex over the top of the marbles/gems (follow the directions on Envirotex package.) This mixture must lay flat for 48-72 hours. Once it's dry- place string of lights inside of block & enjoy!
