Thanks to Shari, aka Fearless Leader and Madam Samm, the creator of this Hop, for giving us a platform to share our creations. We are required to make three projects, one showcasing Riley Blake Gingham. RBD was considering discontinuing their gingham line. How silly was that! The medium gingham has been saved. Alas the small and large patterns will be gone. Hey, we still have the medium, which I find just about right for my projects. The other items we made were our choice.
My last minute pictures were taken in the rain. The remnants of Hurricane Norbert are passing through today and tomorrow. I won`t be covered in dust, a bonus.
I crocheted a warm, cozy hat with a pom pom on top. Just for me. The dog carried it to bed a few days ago. A stamp of approval!
A hot pad for my daughter in law. The pad is lined with Insulbright and Warm and Natural Cotton Batting. I`m also going to make her a matching table topper. The fabric was given to me a few years ago. I like the quaint print. I love my daughter in law!
I made this table mat for me. The gingham is Riley Blake. The print is Moda`s Glamping. It`s lined with flannel and backed with lime green Kona Cotton. I liked working with scraps.
Below is the list of today`s presenters. Please visit them and enjoy their creations.

I love the glamping fabrics and a great match with your gingham. The print for your mug rug is very cute, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking time to comment. My first projects in a year.
DeleteI love the sweet baby cap, the very useful hot pad and the great picnic blanket! You have been busy. Thank you for sharing your projects.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. I loved making the table mat and my new winter hat. The hot pad was fun.
DeleteVery sweet projects, every one. I love the glamping fabric with RBD gingham. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla for commenting. I like Glamping too. I sort of overdid in my camper, lol. A little goes a long way. Have a good day.
DeleteNice projects; I love the caravan print fabric!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anita for your kind comment. I sincerely appreciate it.
DeleteI love your projects particularly the hot pad, the fabric is lovely.
ReplyDeletelove the hat, and white and a pom pom......now I cannot imagine you needing one that often in your area....I guess I never thought it would ever get cold enough- no doubt you will be in style.......your prints for your projects are lovely...how can any of us ever go wrong with gingham....and red to boot...
ReplyDeleteIt`s been as cold as 11 below zero Fahrenheit here. Our winters are usually cold and dry. The hat`s great. I love to crochet. Too bad the dog likes it too! Thank you for commenting Madam Samm.
DeleteGreat winter hat...are you sure Sam brought it for you and not as a way of telling you "he" needed help to put it on LOL. It looks very soft and warm. Super hot pad (nice fabric) and table topper. I love the medium-sized gingham too! I'm so glad some RBD gingham is here to stay!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shari! Yesterday Sam ran off with fabric I bought to make something for DIL`s mother. He`s constantly in my scrap basket too. The hat is warm. I love to crochet.
DeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeletethe tablemat is very nice and the fabric for the hop pad is so cute.
Thanks for sharing!
Isn't it nice when our pets love our work too!!! Very pretty work! Love the Hot pad print, your daughter in law will love it! Love the Glamping Fabric Matt!! Thanks for sharing your summer with us!!
ReplyDeleteHuggs, Nancy
Nice projects. Your hat looks so warm and cozy. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorian.
DeleteThe cap with the pompon is sooo nice, I know it can be very cold in the desert in winter time, I lived some years in the Namibian desert and I never froze that much without heating..... I would have been very happy to wear such a lovely crocheted cap, really.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, nice with the gingham!
Thank you Judy! It`s about 40 F now. I`m ready for cool weather.
DeleteThird time trying to tell you all your projects are spiffy, sweet that Sam took your hat to bed, he must be comforted by your scent.
ReplyDeleteLucky DIL to get that cute pot holder.
Thinking of you...
Thank you Nancy. My son`s Boxer will be living here as of today. She is 10 and they can`t care for her anymore. Sam will like that. Sorry you had a hard time commenting. I had that problem earlier today. This Hop was difficult. It`s hard me to be cheerful some days or meet a goal. I finished. Yipee!
DeleteVery nice projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth!
DeleteVery nice projects...your DIL will live that trivet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjorie.
DeleteSuch a sweet MIL you are to make that for your DIL...sweet! The hat is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCathy I love that print in your gingham quilt! I haven't seen it before but since we're leaving on a camping trip Sunday it really caught my eye. And I admire your ability to make that hat - I can knit or crochet straight rows...and that's all. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHi Marlene. That trailer pattern is Moda`s Glamping. I thought it was cute. I love red. Michael Miller has a design called Trailer Travel. The dominant colors in that are turquoise, gray and red. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was eight or ten.
DeleteI'll bet your DIL loves having you for her MIL! That is a cute print.
ReplyDeleteYour little hat is so sweet and the gingham in red is wonderful.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
DeleteYour projects are all wonderful and hopefully the sewing will help you in your healing process. What a treasure you must be to your family!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. Sewing has helped me move on.
DeleteCute projects. I really like the hot pad fabric too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan.
DeleteWhat cute projects you made Cathy ! Love your hat....dogs always know what's wonderful don't they ! and that glamping fabric ....cuuuute ! I looked through the pictures on your blog.....what a wild and wonderful place you live in. I would love to visit and see the sights Arizona someday.
ReplyDeleteLove the red gingham! Great projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leah. I appreciate your comment!
DeleteWhat an adorable quilt!!!! Those little campers!!! It looks like you have been a very busy little camper yourself!!! These are so Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lana for the kind comment. Michael Miller has a design called Trailer Travel That I also like.
DeleteGlamping and gingham...what a great combo!
ReplyDeleteYour gingham and Glam ping look great together. Good idea you had there. All of your projects are adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love the hat. I wish I could do something like that, but I don't have the skills to make something that cute. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Loved the table topper with it's happy red gingham. Pairing it with Glamping was perfect. Fall has hit us hard and early - it's been in the 40s at night and stays plenty cool during the day. Sure hope this earliness doesn't mean winter is coming soon, too!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe hat and hot pads are all so darn cute! Thank You for Sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are a woman of many needles! Sweet projects.
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects! I would love to be talented enough to make such a lovely hat! Winter is coming. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely projects. Your DIL is lucky to have you as a MIL. Even though I'm not a hat person, I love your crocheted hat.
ReplyDeleteI liked all the projects, very nicely done. I'm following you, I wish you the best on your new journey. I'll be praying for the rough spots.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and Blessings

Lovely projects. I'm with everyone else who commented. Wouldn't have thought of you needed a hat in AZ but goes to show what I know.... haha!
ReplyDeleteNice job on your projects.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are great. Love that crocheted hat!
ReplyDeleteSending you smiles and sunshine. :)
Wonderful projects!! I love the gingham glamping table mat.
ReplyDeleteI own some Glamping fabric and love love love it but have never made a camping quilt as I originally planned. Did you make a larger quilt at some point with that fabric? If so, I would love to see what you made. I can't find it anywhere now. Isn't hopping fun? I love all the great ideas.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Great projects! I love your hat. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDelete~Brandy
Great summer finishes. Love you camping quilt
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful hat! I wish I could crochet - just not my thing. Your daughter-in-law is going to be thrilled with the hot pad. Your quilt is adorable. I love the red/white gingham. The green on the back has to be gorgeous. I read that you recently became a widow and you are losing a best friend. I am sorry. I lost my husband a year ago in July. Things are still a mess in my life from it. I have attended two sessions of Grief Share and just started with a different group of it. That has helped or I would be non-functioning, I think. I've been to visit my daughter more - not because of that, just her needs for a sitter. i took my first trip abroad. I'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other. Thanks for participating and sharing a bit of your summer with us. Blessings my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe dog liked your hat? Obviously he decided that it was just the thing he needed to have you nearby all the time. Great projects!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Your projects are wonderful and the recipients are very lucky. Thanks for sharing your creations with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, what a big heart you have! Everything you make, you give away! I'm glad you are keeping a mat for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love your projects! The hat looks comfy. Sam has the right idea! I am getting back into crocheting lately. But up till now I have had to rip up everything I made. Turns out, I suck at crochet! Who knew.....A hot pad is always handy. Your daughter in law will be very pleased with that one!. Your table mat is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your summer.
ReplyDeleteCathy...love the camping quilt, perfect combination ...Glamping and red gingham...sweet!! I love to crochet too, the hat would be perfect for the grandgirls. They love crocheted hats. Great summer sewing!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy stitching, Pauline
ReplyDeleteCute projects. The glamping fabric was perfect to use with the gingham. The table mat will be so cheerful in your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you and I are rowing the same boat with losing our husbands recently. My sympathies to you and your family as I know what you might be going through. Maybe working on the hop projects was some comfort to you? Varied interests to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy I love the prints too, especially the Moda Glamping one. Need to look out for that. Hope you and yours are all safe and well. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Susie x
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well in Arizona, the hat will keep you warm during the colder winter months.
ReplyDeleteCathy,
ReplyDeleteLove the adorable gat you made over the summer. The glamping table mat is very nice. Love your color choices! Sew fun!
LOL I am cracking up about your dog ...
ReplyDeletePretty projects :)
