PLACEMATS

The new Fat Quarter fabrics came from my local quilt store

 and I sat right down and stitched the project immediately! 

 A cottage look for red/white and blue table settings!

I like the look for a good summer celebration 

for our country's 250th birthday!

 

FRIDAY FELINE!

So, after I finished the two placemats for my chess lovin' guys, 

I laid them out for a photo shoot--

and Miss Lena jumped right up and owned them! 

 It will give Will's cat something to think about! lol

We had a great lunch and some putt putt golf time!

It was perfection on every level!

PIECES

I made the binding,  backing and cut the batting for the table runner so when the frame is cleared of its present quilt, 

I can load this on and get it on my table!

I also enjoyed arranging and piecing two simple placemats, 

and used the leftover charms and a bit of fabric

 to make a matching table runner!

We also had some rowdy guests at the bird feeding station!  On top over the bird feeders, we have a heavy metal pan we use to feed the crows but today, a committee of turkey vultures moved in and knocked over the pan and had quite a picnic on the spillings!

 

You can see the crow on the trellis to the right of the bird feeders---he was waiting his turn!

AUTUMN ANTICIPATION

The wall hanging and and placemats are completely completed! 

 I applied the binding to all the edges which was quite the marathon!  The set is called Autumn Vibes.

The placemats are 18" x 11".

The panel is 48" x 24".

I ended my creative energies on loading up a QOV quilt.  (I didn't make the quilt, I am only doing the quilting portion of its making!)
