Before I check my stash for fabric for potholders -
I thought I would try making some napkins -
So I found a set of 12 fat quarters -
Enough for 6 double-sided napkins -
There are plenty of tutorials on the internet -
I cut it short -
So BOB told me to "splice it" -
Unless I wanted to make 5 napkins -
Instead of 6 -
And who wants/needs 5 napkins - LOL -
So I spliced it -
And you can't really tell -
Unless you know to look for it - LOL - ;))
I have all of the 14" squares cut out -
And paired up -
So I can use them as tweens* -
While I play with my LEFT-EZE Rule™ -
And make some potholders -
And make some potholders -
If you're LEFT-Handed -
You're cutting stuff the HARD way -
I have been told -
And have to agree -
That it is a "game-changer" - LOL - ;))
If you want to play along -
As I make some potholders -
I'll show you how to use the ruler -
And how to make some nifty little blocks -
It should be fun -
And you only have to make ONE block -
For a potholder -
PLUS - I have extended the FREE shipping -
Until the end of the month -
So -
If you want one -
And you know you do - LOL -
Or if you want something nice for a LEFT-Handed quilter -
On your gift list -
Order it before Wednesday -
To take advantage of the FREE Shipping -
As they say - that's an $8.75 value - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta - gotta sew -
*NOTE: -
"Tweens" - some people call them "leaders and enders" -
but that's a mouthful and much too long to say -
besides - I sew them be"TWEEN" other stuff -
so that's what I call them - LOL - ))

Ha ha....thanks for explaining "tweens" - I was thinking "between projects."
Five napkins would have been just fine growing up - two parents and five kids. But then again...two brothers and a dad could either mean no need of napkins (they have sleeves!) or more (boys are messy)? The fabrics seem perfect, too!
They all would work, 5,6, or any number. I would just make ‘em without counting them. Numbers usually just ruin things for me. Oh, and I still say “Leaders and Enders”, but that’s just me always doing things the hard way!
