A new rug for the kitchen

I found the perfect rug for the kitchen. It has all of the fruits on the border and the pineapple to match Katie's dishes. I printed the rug onto T-shirt transfer paper and ironed it onto Aida cloth. You get the effect of handstitching with the texture of the cloth. I think it would be better with 18 or 24 count cloth but all I had was 14.

Pineapples for Cora

I spent some time playing with the pineapple graphics Katie, Katie's Clay Corner, had on her blog. Katie, if you want these, you can have them for Cora's kitchen until you can get just what you want. I used the dragonfly and pineapple rug and made one (using the tissue technique) for in front of the sink and a larger one for under the table. I made the stencil into a stone-like plaque for over the door or wherever. The utensils are just for fun. Email your mailing address, Katie, if you think Cora would like these.
