These are the easy place mats that my quilt group was making last winter. They are made with four fat quarters and 5/8 yard of fabric for the backing. These are made using the "quick turn" method - no binding. They are quick to complete when you need a gift in a hurry!
I used some built-in specialty stitches on my Pfaff for the quilting. I stitched using Superior King Tut thread in a variegated pastel colour #937.
I've also been working on my redwork quilt. I decided to take the easy road and make pieced sashing with nine-patch cornerstones. I'll get back at it soon.
My BFF is on vacation this week, so we are heading across the border to visit Watertown NY for some shopping and a nice lunch out. We're bringing both DHs along too!
I'll be adding some recipes that have been requested, later this week.
See what creativity is happening at Judy's blog!
cute, I need to check out that method for making placemats, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove nice easy projects to try out stitches on our sewing machines!
ReplyDeleteThat specialty stitch looks so cool on that one block - makes it look like you fringed it somehow.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little placemats.
ReplyDeletethese look great. Good use of the deco stitches on your machine too...
