Holiday gifties for families we love...Picnic rolls inspired by Amanda Soule's project in Rhythm of the Family. It took me a few tries to get the proportions I wanted and I thrifted silverware, useful utensils and napkins to tuck inside--ready to go to the park, beach, playground, festival hill...
I used cotton upholstery fabric in four different colorways (of course I forgot to take pictures of the others) and this vintage print (above), which I scored at the International Quilt Festival in Houston way back in 2006, when Silas was a mere 6 months old! I tucked a thin layer of cotton batting between for cushiony comfort.
Cindy, These and the bedside caddies are so pretty, yet functional too. You continue to amaze me with your crafting skills. I might work up the courage to ask you if you wouldn't mind making something for me, well for my little one. I have an idea, just not sure where to start. And my sewing skills are nowhere near yours. I can only sew straight lines, if that much. This project requires more than what I can handle...
