*****Edited: WOW~~~~I am grateful and amazed at the number of responses I am getting about my latest Project Roll post.... Thank you guys~~~~ to answer a few questions....I have no pattern to offer... This is a self created vision of mine and each piece is custom... I will not have a stock to pull orders from...., I take your request of fabric colors and go from there... You may mail me your fabric (half yard of both outer and lining fabrics~)... If so, your price will be 30.00 instead of 32.00.... Many of you were interested in the pretty cross stitch piece shown in my roll-up... It's one of the designs from Lori Brechlin's Autumn at Notforgotten Farm book.... I love this book of her's as it is chocked full of designs and ideas... Check it out!!.... Keep the requests coming... Orders are coming in and there's about a 4 week turnaround time right now.... My complete profile has my email address listed~ I'd love to hear from you..... More to come~****** Well, ...... what's 20 inches by 14 inches, rolls up and protects???? My newly created Project Roll....!
When a customer, (thank you Linda :)) recently challenged me to put my spin on this concept, I was stepping W-A-Y out of my box.... Her comments went something like this.... "I have something I'd like you to consider... Or, you can tell me to go jump in the lake!.... But, I'd like Carolina Stitcher to come up with some kind of a roll up that I can lay my project linen flat, roll it up and secure it to keep it protected and unwrinkled....." Knowing there are a few things ready made out there like this already, I took her up on her challenge to see what I could come up with.... It ended up being less intimidating than originally thought... And, after several mock-up designs in my craftroom, here's what I came up with~
20 inches long..... With 2 ties to secure.....
Quilted cotton fabric to lay your linen on.... Rolls out about 14 inches~
Rolling up will keep your linen without fold creases....
The ends are secured with round, fabric covered discs....
Your project is safely rolled up inside....
Secured with nice ties... And subtle Carolina Stitcher accents...
Made to match your Carolina Stitcher project bag.....
Don't you just LOVE being organized??? Let me know your thoughts..... I'm taking orders and if you email me, I'll be happy to provide all the details~~ Thanks!
Headed to Chapel Hill tomorrow to attend the UNC football game!!!
Go Tarheels!!!

Love the project roll. My stitching group just recently got together and each made one. I love it! Perfect for keeping my huge piece of linen for Hawk Run Hollow neat and tidy.
Next you should think about Q-snap covers. I've got leftover fabric from my project roll. ;)

Never thought to roll projects. What a great idea.

Oh Yes!!! Love it!! I have been looking for something like this forever. I would love one of these. You say you are taking orders? Can we send you our choice of fabric?
Very nice! I like your version very much!
Beautiful! I would love to get some details on this. Thanks!
So fantastic!! What a beautiful way to store the stitched pieces!
How clever! You are so creative. They look great and so useful too.

Great idea -- and perfect results. Hope the game was, too :-)
WOW! Great idea!
wonderful Faye - I saw a friend with one similar at our stitch in this past week and yes I would love to have one. Just have to visit the quilt shop and find some lovely fabric to send to you.
Thanks for sharing your creativity. Mel
I think a smaller version would be great also. 8x10 or 10x14 inches! Combo Set!
Everything you finish is Beautiful. Wisconsin Nancy
