For Bacon Lovers or Piggy Lovers
I've been making sets that consist of hot pad, crochet dishcloth, crochet scrubbie, 4 coasters and a hand embroidered dishtowel. These sets will go into baskets for a silent auction benefit on September 24 for my son-in-law diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
This is the Bacon Lover (or Piggy lover) set. Piggy tutorial was compliments of Sally of Objects of Design and the Four Squared four inch coaster pattern was compliments of Beth at Love Laugh Quilt. The back of the hotpad has bacon themed fabric.

I'm not sure anyone loves dancing dishes but there are some strange people out there...I'm one of them.
Dancing Dishes Dish Towel or maybe Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid Tastes Great.

And for those who think Chocolate and Bacon and Chicken is unhealthy I have a healthier alternative for the
Fruit and Veggie Lovers.

That's enough for six silent auction baskets or actually six Batter Bowls full. I'll add in some other miscellaneous items, add some shrink wrap and maybe a bow and call it good.
Since this involved quite a bit of handwork - crochet (dish cloths and scrubbies), embroidery (dish towels) and hand quilting (on coasters and some hot pads) I'm linking up today to

Wow! You've been working hard. These baskets are all amazing. Love them all.
What fabulous sets, Cathy! I'm sure they will do well. It's a great idea!
I hope all your gorgeous stitching brings lots of money!
These should be well received -- fingers crossed that they are!
These are so wonderful! You have really put your heart into this.
Spectacular!
My favorites are the pigs and the chickens, but they're all perfect! I hope they raise gobs and gobs of money, because they certainly should!
What great ideas you have for raising money. I hope your auctions will bring in some much needed money - good luck with it all :)
How fun that you've been able to find perfect matches -- fabrics and embroidery patterns -- for each set. Your embroidery skills look fabulous! I have a friend who claims bacon is a separate food category. I thought of that when I saw your little clip about bacon in your last photo.
Where did you buy the striped dish towels?

All your embroidered dish towels remind me of when I was young. My mother had lots of those in the kitchen drawer.
WOW I love it is the auction on line or in your local area?
I really like the peas in the pod embroidery but all are truly lovely

Great silent auction items! I love how they are all color coordinated.
Those are really quite awesome. And let us know if there will be online bidding so your virtual reality admirers can participate too.
Wow! That's a lot of great stitching. Good luck at your auction! I'm sure it will go well with prizes like these! Many get well thoughts to your son-in-law and warm hugs for your whole family!
Oh my word, you've been so incredibly busy. I love each and everyone of your tea towels, your embroidery's inspiring. I hope they raise lots of money for your cause - and that your son-in-law reaps the benefits. Take great care, thinking of you x
These are very cool. I love the chicken, and the peas, and...the dancing dishes remind me of the movie of Beauty and the Beast!
Great idea and work, a fun addition to any kitchen.
Fantastic job! So much creativity involved in organizing these baskets!
Love the embroidered towels!
Oh, I love what you've made!
