Dress up your Roll Competition
Starting January 9th I will be hosting the ‘Dress up your roll’ competition. It is open to bloggers all over the world.
We have all made the Mug Rugs (Caffeine Carpets), Pot Holders, Dolls Quilts, Runners, Tree Skirts and Pillows but have we ever spared a thought for the humble toilet roll.
The toilet roll is always last to be best dressed. It is often hidden in the cupboard or left bare and exposed on the top of the toilet suite.

| Dress me up, please. |
I want to challenge all quilters and crafter to come up with some original ideas. Covers are simple and quick to make. They are a great way to use up scraps.
I will be posting a quick tutorial January 9th 2012 to kick off the competition.

Well it looks like I am the first sign up, and I'm really looking forward to this one. It should be a lot of fun, and I'm sure everyone who signs up can think of more than 1 way to cover a roll! I sure can!
