It's time to make bats, pumpkins and turkeys!

Washcloth Bat

Washcloth Pumpkin or Jack 'O Lantern
Washcloth Turkey
TerryGami, 15 Cloth Toy and Ornament Projects for Crafters, Teachers, and Children

The book is now available in paperback!

The book is available at:

 
I had hoped to get the next book ready by this fall, but unfortunately, we have had a death in the family and various problems to contend with this summer.  If you are looking for more in the way of washcloth crafts,  I plan to begin working on the second book again very soon.

I have several more books in the works, too, which include more holiday icons and critters.  I’ll keep you posted on its' progress, but in the mean time, I hope the first book will keep everyone busy for a while.  

 Remember, everyone can use the wide-eyed, blunt-end needles when working with terrycloth, including adults.  It is so much easier to thread the needle. I use the darning needles.

Some of the items in the book will appeal to crafters for bazaar sales, some to group and troop leaders, and moms and dads who homeschool their children.  The list of factoids should help make the project informative, as well.

It's time to make bats, pumpkins and turkeys. Just use foam board or felt to make the face of the Jack 'O Lantern.  I really like the glittered foam board.  Use non-toxic, non-flammable fabric when gluing to terrycloth.  You really need to use it, even with the foam board or felt is sticky-backed.

Please check out the tips and ideas in the previous blogs, and please like us on Facebook, when you have the time.

Happy Crafting!
