Under Construction Quilt
The fabrics used in the bricks, the border, and the words were made using the photocopier function on an INKJET printer. The fabric for the mortar and the binding are commercial prints. Elaine used the bricks on her house as the guide for the sizes. Feel free to change up the sizes to suit your project. There are many novelty or architectural prints on the market that you can use instead of creating your own.

Spring’s Bubbly Bath Duo
Full instructions for this crochet spa set.
Spring is in the air and with spring comes – spring cleaning. After an exhausting day of house beautifying it’s time to relax and beautify you. And what better way than by enjoying a long soak in a bubble-filled bath? When it’s time to soap up and scrub the day’s cares away, you’ll appreciate this bath duo consisting of a back scrubber and bath mitt.
Both are soft and cushy, but bumpy enough to gently exfoliate your skin. Make them in our spring fresh colours or choose some that coordinate with your bathroom. Either way, you’ll love the way you feel after your bath. Why not make a few extra? They’re quick and easy to make and, paired with fragrant soaps, they’ll be a welcome gift set for friends, family members, or your favourite hostess.
