[...] Tomorrow we are having a potluck at work and I’d signed up for dessert. I definitely got carried away, but the relief I find in cooking is parallel only to running and I just didn’t have the stamina for a long run tonight. Tomorrow’s menu includes Sweet Sedona bundt cake, lemon coconut cookies and Mexican cinnamon brownies — all in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. [...]

[...] Dear Finny, The first step of getting over an addiction is to recognize you have a problem, right? {Or, if you are Lindsay Lohan, to hire a great publicity/law team and take a rehab vacay until everything blows over. Pun intended.} Point being, I have a bag problem. I love them. I am like the Imelda Marcos of handbags — I want a pretty, sweet, different one for each day of the week. Except, you know. I don’t really own that many and I am regularly making and giving away handbags, rather than adding them to my already quite blessed closet. That said? I want a new fall bag — a lovely bag perhaps made out of that pink and chocolate fabric stash I’ve been hoarding. Something I can wear when I drive up to Flagstaff to get my Halloween pumpkins. You know, because I can’t grow a thing and your garden is an unfortunate 1000 miles away from my doorstep — you amazing fronteirswoman! While I’m drooling over this beauty at Banana, I like homemade even more. The September assignment for the In Stitches sew-along is officially the patchwork handbag. Here is the twist: not only is this the September assignment, but also the October assignment too. [...]

I’m impressed with the binding on the potholders. Binding is a b****!

Pot holder maybe less then perfect but we don’t see it as we are looking at the gorgeous fabric you used.
I must try some of these pot holders.

No fair! I love shortbread. Mmmmm….shortbread. I accept deliveries?

I am so impressed you got your potholders done already! I’m inspired. I have the fabric and all cut out, but I’m procrastinating because of the evil quilting. And I’m likely going to buy bias tape instead of making it. Because, well, it’s hard.

Nice work on the fabric choices, very summery. I’ll be posting soon on mine. Travel safe!
