Today is my Day!
Due to some technical difficulties (grin), I made a 'Bowl' rug for my project. I just love it! No tutorial. I just made it up as I went along.
Just click on the pictures for a closeup.
My bowl is lined, and the bowl itself is open so you can add your crackers. And there is a perfect spot for my depression glass bowl.
I love everything Regina! Be sure and check out her webpage at Regina Grewe. You may be the lucky guy or gal to win $25 credit to spend on her lovely patterns.
It's easyyyy! Just leave a happy thought under comments.
I'll leave the giveaway open until August 31, and I'll pick a winner soon after that date.

Oh, my, gosh! That is so cute--love it! Making a little pocket for your cracker (or some other little goodie) is a great idea. The colors are really nice, too. I'm so glad you hopped with us and hope that you do it again some time. :O)
Oh, Billie - you surprised me! Love your little treat pocket in your bowl - you clever gal you. You did good on your first hop.
This is so cute!! Love the colours.

What a clever idea, a pocket! Thank you for the giveaway and for sharing.
The brown and pink are beautiful together, I love your mugrug!
You should love your bowl! It looks amazing. How smart to leave the top open to add those much needed crackers! I'm thinking it's perfect for chocolate chip cookies with hot chocolat too!
Clever! Instead of a mug rug it's a bowl rug. Beautiful! I'm inspired to try that! Thanks for sharing!

Your placemat is so cute. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Your placemat is wonderful! I really like your color combo. What great gifts these would make with the pockets and all. Will be keeping this in mind!
Your mug rug is wonderful! An opening in the rug for your goodies! how thoughtful! I like these colors too, very pleasing!
Your Bowl "rug" is wonderful. I can picture it holding a nice warm bowl of oatmeal on a cold winter morning! That is 'with' raisins and cinnamon, please! Wonderful job!
tolle Idee mit dem dampfenden Inhalt...TOLL
Billie, as always you made a cute little something after my pattern. I just imagined stuffing a tissue into the pocket with the corners peaking out.
Thanks for your kind words and I will try to serve your winner promptly.

Your antique bowl is really cool
Thanks for sharing your project, it is really creative
Beautiful placemats with bowls.
Billie this is just too cute! Love the idea of the little pocket and imagine the sweet goodies you could put in there!
Your project is innovative and cute. The colors go very well with your antique bowl. The cracker pocket could be a tea bag pocket too. Thanks for sharing this lovely bowls with borders project.
Isn't that just the cutest bowl mat! Adorable.
This is so cute, including the little pocket. I love all of the great ideas quilters can come up with using the same pattern. Great job!
I love your bowl and the warm comforting feel it gives off. Thanks for sharing!
This is just adorable...love the little pocket (and your depression glass!) Thanks for sharing!
Billie-I love the unusual color combination you used to make your placemat-it's fresh and new. Thanks for the tribute to RR. Give my love to Elly- she resembles my Gus, but I have 2 other felines who take up my time as well. I can't resist when they want to sit on my lap and be petted! I also appreciate you introducing us to Allie-oops embroidery designs. Thanks for sharing-from CA, USA!

I clicked for a closeup of the photos first, before I read the post. And I was wondering how you made that cracker look so realistic. Haha! Then I read the post. Great idea, well done! Thanks for the giveaway.

Billie your bowl is the perfect !! I would like an oatmeal raisin cookie in mine please, ;D! I love pink and brown fabrics!!! I have a lot (really a lot) stored in a tub together for "someday"! Your pink depression glass looks very cute on it too! Something so dainty about that pink depression glass!

I really like your mug rug bowl. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.
Very creative and very pretty. Love the pocket. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the opportunity to win an awesome prize.
Love your little mug rug, very clever with the pocket :)
Very creative idea!
That is a nice bowl. I have seen many Mug Rugs before but never one with a pocket. That is such a nice idea!
What a great idea. Love your imagination. Bet it would hide chocolate too :)
What a cute placemat. :) The treat pocket is a great idea.
What a cute idea to leave the bowl open. :) Maybe you could tuck your silverware in the pocket.
Love your bowl mini. Great colors and match your glass bowl to a tee. What a clever idea to leave the bowl open, lots of possibilities. Thanks for sharing your project with us. Super job!

Billie...what a darling 'bowl rug". The little pocket is such a cute idea. Great job! Thanks for the inspiration....only happy thoughts are coming your way. Have a wonderful, happy stitching, kind of week!!
Wow! This is something a little different. Great idea and so clever! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love simple. If I were to paper piece these bowls, I'm sure I would have stopped with one and I really like your mat. Thanks.
I really enjoyed learning to paper piece. I found a book that I have had for years on paper piecing and never knew what to do with it. It had 501 blocks. Now this winter I will be able to practice.
Well look at you Ms.Billie! Very cute mug rug.
Now your secret is out, you do know how to sew.. LOL
And Pick me pick me.
Very cute place mats.
Cracker pocket? Love it :) Great job on your bowl rug, glad you shared!
