Fat Quarters

I combined my love of pottery and quilting and here is what I came up with - a pencil holder with a quilting theme....

Anyway, it was a fun project and was donated to a guild for their fundraising.

Which reminds me I have to make more for a few friends who have requested them.

Painted Tile Coasters

I had originally created this blog for my art/pottery works so I went around the house looking for some of my finished projects to photograph. I decided on these two tiles I had painted several years ago. It is painted in underglaze and low fired.

I was at that time doing some redwork hand embroidery of these same 'colonial girl' motif and thought maybe I could paint some in blue on tiles to be use as coasters.

I love how they came out and they are well used in my kitchen/dining.
