Tutorial Monday

January was a very successful month for Christmas Through The Year.  Darlene and I were so excited with the turnout!  Speaking of Darlene …we all are hoping that flu bug gets the heck out of your house soon!!
  So here we go with February.  This month’s giveaway is a Gadget Bucket for your sewing goodies. To be in the running to win this, all you have to do is make a Christmas gift this month.  Then at the end of the month Darlene will post a Mr. Linky where you can enter a link to your gift. A winner will be picked from this list of names.  The bucket is a 2 lb. coffee can so it holds quite a bit.  There are pockets around all sides.  Here’s the one I use, filled to the brim!  Wishing I was a better photographer..the picture doesn’t do it justice!

I am so excited to share the following tutorials with all of you.   Everyone has been so nice about letting me use their photos, with links to their tutorials.   If you do decide to make a project from one of these tuts, please give credit to the maker with a link back to their site!   So here we go!!!
From Pam Kitty Morning there’s this wonderful pot holder tutorial.  In case you haven’t checked it out, here’s a peek at her beautiful new line of fabric.  OMW…stinkin’ cute!
Sandra, at Sew in Peace has this really cute snowman mug rug tutorial, and Jodi from Pleasant Home has a sweet tree mug rug  tutorial.
