Three days of From the Heart fun...aren't you just loving it! The rules were to share a small gift idea that could be given to someone. With such an amazing line-up of bloggers, you'll be so inspired! I'm really lucky to share the day with them!
Like so many others, I bounced around with different ideas and finally landed somewhere. It was a bumpy landing, just so you know (too many ideas swirling in my head!)
Gnomes have been my favorite thing lately to design, so I created a potholder to share with you. The purple and gold fabric is from one of my favorite designers, Laurel Burch, and some Canvas from Northcott for the gnome.
The strap gets held on with buttons and the inside has an enclosed seam. You can find the "Round Gift Bag" pattern HERE.

Some lovely cute gifts ideas....thank you for the patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love the gnome.. he's gorgeous...&
ReplyDeleteI will certainly be making a round bag too.
Thank You...xox
Your gnome is adorable. He will handle the hot cooking vessels with cheer.
ReplyDeleteThe needle/pin holders are sweet and so useful.
The round bag is a good idea. That fabric makes it look so fun to use.
How generous of you to share your patterns for all the items. Truly gifts from your heart.
Great gift ideas Carol, and that gnome is so cute. Thanks for a great blog hop!
ReplyDeleteCarol, thanks so much for hosting another great hop and for these cute gift ideas and patterns!
ReplyDeleteCarol, thanks so much for this great hop! Your projects are all so sweet, especially the "From the Heart Gnome." Thanks for sharing the pattern with us too.
ReplyDeleteThank You so Much for such a cute pattern, I know just who to make this for!!
ReplyDeleteGnomes are addictive little fellas aren't they? You have several fun projects in this post! Thanks, Carol, for hosting this Hop. It's been such fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your gifts and thank you so much for the patterns! I may just have to make a gnome and applique it on the gift bag! Thanks Carol. I should have joined in on this blog hop, but I think at the time of the sign ups I wasn't up for it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the needle holder!!! Looks like a great item to make and include in Operation Christmas Child boxes!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! I've have such fun seeing the projects on the blog hop. I really like your needle holders; looks like something that I could do in time for Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteCarol, your projects are wonderful! Laurel Burch fabrics are some of my favorites too--it is fun to see them featured in your post.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol! The little gnome with his little feet, clutching the heart is SO dang cute. Even his widdle ears are cute. Your needle/pin holders are cute too - such cute fabrics. I love Laurel Burch, too - just barely in second place behind good 'ole Riley. Another great hop in the books! Great job. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteSo many great ideas! I love all your projects, especially the needle cases. What cute stocking stuffers these will make. Your gnome is darling.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the patterns. And thank you for another wonderful hop. They are always such fun!
Those are some great ideas for quick gifts to make. I'm particularly fond of the bucket. The Laurel Burch fabric you used is gorgeous and it's wonderful that it's also Christmas fabric and doesn't look like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your work in organizing another fun hop. I started here but will finish the others for the 28th. You always inspire and impress me, Carol.
Such cute projects. Thanks for sharing the patterns with us. I have thoroughly enjoyed checking out the blog projects & designers. It has been such fun as well as a spirit boost. Thanks to all involved & many thanks to you for organizing this event.

ReplyDeleteGreat projects, thanks so much for sharing the patterns. Thanks so much for this great blog hop, I have had so much fun. My mind is whirling with ideas!
I love your little gnome buddy. I can see him popping up in lots of places in addition to a pot holder or mug rug. So many great ideas so little time.
ReplyDeleteThe needle/pin holder is a great idea: I will for sure make that. It seems gnomes are everywhere this year!
ReplyDeleteCarol these are some sweet gifts to make for several of my friends. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and patterns. A special thank you for hosting this fun hop.
ReplyDeleteGreat gift ideas. Thanks Carol
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. Your folded needle holder was just the gift I've been looking for, for a special online friend--something I can make and then send through the mail that I know she'll appreciate.
ReplyDeleteSo many cute gift. I love them all, and will certainly make at least one of them. Thanks for the patterns, and a big thank you for hosting this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love each of your gifts!

The needle holder is a perfect idea for fellow quilters!
The round gift bag is perfect for gift-giving! And easy on the environment - it can be re-cycled!

Thank you so much, Carol! You are so generous with your beautiful gifts!
ReplyDeleteCarol, That folded needle holder is perfection!! Thank you for sharing a wonderful project that I will have to try!! The round bag is also a keeper...may need one of those too. You rocked it out of the park and truly ran a wonderful blog hop for us all!!
ReplyDeleteCarol you are amazing and Thank You for organizing and hopping From the Heart. Your gift ideas are wonderful and thank you for the pattern links.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the patterns Carol! My sister's grandkids call her Noma. I spell it Gnoma and give her gnome themed gifts, so the potholder is perfect.
