Honeycomb Dishcloth
Designed By Julie A. Bolduc
This dishcloth uses the variation of the popcorn stitch the kernel stitch and since this dishcloth is round, I could not think of a better name. Sort of resembles the cereal of the same name. Well sort of. It is a fairly fast and easy dishcloth to make and would make a great addition to a gift basket of kitchen related goodies.

Random Quick Tip!
No Slip Quilting Rulers!If you need to make a quilting ruler, or a machine quilting ruler non slip, and you don't have any of those commercial stick on things to do so, you can use E6000 glue on the back side of your ruler. Just put a straight bead down one edge and use a squeegee device such as a scraper or plastic old credit card to spread it on the ruler as smoothly, thinly and evenly as you can. Allow to dry overnight before using. I did this to one of mine and it works better than other products I used in the past. It dries clear so you can still see through your ruler! I am using it on a machine quilting ruler I have. I can move my fabric through the machine with the ruler! Make sure to follow safety precautions when using.
