The International Quilt Market

For the past few days Oilcloth International has been at the International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas! Here's a glimpse at our Chalkcloth (TM) sign and our booth with all of your oilcloth goodies!

You Can't Take It With You

Being thrifty starts with a cool wallet! Thrifty Zippers offers a variety of cute wallets made with oilcloth. In addition to being waterproof, this wallet has 6 zippered pockets down the middle and has room for a checkbook, id, and cards in the side pockets. Our Bloom Aqua and Red Stripe oilcloth are a perfect combination for an accessory that is both functional and eye-catching.

So Fresh & So Clean

Our Rosegall Pink, which comes in Aqua and Light Blue as well, looks fantastic as a pretty lining for these classic dishwashing gloves!

For Your Pet

Wiggle Waggle

Micou and Cardie

King Tut

Micou, King Tut and Cardie Molina (owner of Oilcloth International) are proud to be raising money for the animals at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA (PHS). PHS cares for more than 12,000 animals a year by providing food, shelter, veterinary care, adoptions, reunification and so much more. 

Donate $20 or more to my team and get a FREE 48"x 84" oilcloth tablecloth from www.oilcloth.com! (limited offer...act soon) or even a smaller amount would be great...be sure to put it toward The Punk Rock Rovers - one of the 10 ten teams - and my listing. I have a goal!

If you would like to do even more, you can sign up to join me at no cost and more than 1,000 dogs for the Wiggle Waggle Walk on Sunday, September 30th at the Rosebowl. It will be a wonderful day!

Hemma Design

Hemma Design derives its namesake from the Swedish phrase for "at home," and that's exactly where their gorgeous patterns thrive. "Whether you sew, quilt, embroider, knit, or do any kind of needlework, [Hemma] believe[s] that handicrafts create a happier world." Check out their website for more insight into not just "the finished product" but the process of creating- and as always, make sure to use oilcloth with just about any of these great patterns." This "Lilla Handlebar Basket Pattern" showcases both our Polka Dot Red and Gingham Red oilcloth prints!

Make Your Own KitchenAid Cover with Oilcloth

Sew Take a Hike is a crafty blog that features different projects involving "sewing, baking, crocheting, paper making, and knitting." We love that Penny, the creative force behind the website, offers her readers great patterns- many of which would be fantastic if made with oilcloth! Penny states that Sew Take a Hike is "old country style mixed with a modern bend"...sounds like oilcloth in a nutshell! 

This past April, Sew Take a Hike supplied readers with a pattern for a KitchenAid. The basic fabric used to create this classic KitchenAid cover can easily be replaced with oilcloth. Don't forget that oilcloth comes in over 50 prints and patterns! You can pick a classic gingham, a vibrant floral, or even an animal print to create your personalized KitchenAid cover!
