I'm almost done with this one using Christmas fabric, but I'm about out of clothesline, so it will need to wait until I get home from the store later today. I learned yesterday that it is possible to splice the clothesline... I trimmed the frayed ends, then using a heavy duty cotton thread and needle, I stitched and wound to anchor both ends together before wrapping with the fabric. Another thing I have learned... DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE CAP BACK ON THE GLUESTICK, SILLY! They do tend to dry out if you leave them open... duh!
I must admit that I am totally smitten with making these, and my brain is working overtime to come up with other color combinations I would like to use. If you are wondering why I suddenly veered off into making fabric bowls from my multitude of other projects, maybe this will help you to understand:
This is just part of my accumulation of fabric that is threatening to take over my studio and the guest room next door! I have to do something with it, so why not these wonderful bowls? More to come...

These are awesome, Judy! xo
They look great.
What about braided rugs? I bit bigger than bowls - good or bad.
And off topic, a person commented on my blog so I had to check out her work.

She has some really nice items. On one of them she mentions taking an online class from http://www.candiedfabrics.com/
Not that you need any more ideas or blogs to follow. (where is that evil looking smilie?)
