Well I am back and with a finish!


A little shopping in my fabric scraps and stash and voila place mats that brighten up my table. I used fabric swatches from my window treatments to pick similar colors for the place mats. Match pretty good - wouldn't you say?

I began making these back in March but work took over my life for a couple of months. Last evening I finished up the binding -  lime green that matches the backside of the place mats. More about them here.

So good to have finished a project and finding a bit of time to sew again!






Now I can show them off a bit since I have several groups of visitors, family and business, coming to my home in early June. Well my table is looking good, but now I have to get this house of mine cleaned. As you know quilters prioritize making quilts over house cleaning.

Today I pressure washed my front porch, sidewalk and driveway. If you  had seen me I am sure you would have grinned seeing me covered in red clay dirt splattered all over me. 

Once the visitors are gone and business slows down I will be finishing up my Star Light Star Bright Quilt another unfinished project just waiting for me on my quilting table to be completed. Now it is your turn.
