Here are the front (L) and
back (R) of two little new placemats I made
for us this week...
I have a whole jelly roll of those pretty blue/green
fabrics and this backing which is a "cheater cloth"
that I want to finish using...
I am enjoying making these "little"
items for a change of pace...
So today, was a "binding" day for me...
I made bindings and
sewed them on the first side of these:
Hugs & Kisses with the leftover
hydrangea fabric for a binding...
and
August Zinnia with a leftover dotty binding...
I managed to machine sew up the
two placemats' bindings on
both sides,
B U T .......
I totally
[and I mean totally!!]
ran Out of machine thread
after making the placemats...
(Yikes how did that happen??)
👿👺
I have ordered more Gutermann
thread from amazon---
this is my favorite to use
with Helga...works a charm
for me...
*********************************
I also have been working on my second
Meditation Scroll with Purple
Cotton Perle #8 thread...
and a Milliners needle as it is easy for
me to hold... and thread...
These scroll projects are a perfect
"lap quilt" project...;)))
See that purple-y stripe fabric--I just love that with
all my hand dyed browns I've unearthed from
my older stash...
*******************************
I would like to start making some
of these
{Chart is from
"Super Scrappy"
RSC's blog}
patterns and these little spools
look like fun--
PLUS:
I am actually using empty "spools"
in my scrolls projects...
Perfect!!
Maybe some would find their way onto
a scroll...????
:))))
***************************
It has been so hot and humid here that
we have foregone any deck sitting...
thank heavens for our AC....
I am hoping to see some rain this
evening as our lawns are
turning brown and yellow....
Hugs for staying cool everyone!!
