UPDATE 11/27/12: Joining what looks to be a wonderful Christmas Show at the Blog: Quilting Tutorials… go check it out! {Door Prizes… too!}
I got quite a few fabric Christmas projects done over this past, wonderful, long, weekend! Sooooo nice to be home.
I only had four finished when I took the picture, but I have actually made six as I stuck it out! Yahoo! And they are now listed in the etsy shop.
Making these placemats seemed to take a long, long time, but I just had to ‘go with’ what I thought was a grand idea! I started it, so I needed to finish {this year!} I believe I spent about two hours on each of these. I think I’ve “over” the round placemat thingy in my head for awhile now! {Til Spring ~ maybe?!}
I cut the shapes with my sizzix cutter, using a poinsettia die. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have enough white buttons on had, but then again, I needed at least five for each so I had to go out to buy white buttons. These are fused to Steam-A-Seam Lite, first, then stitched with just a simple, raw edge applique, via free motion quilting.
And of course, more swirls. I’m getting a little tired of them, too… but it’s all good. Especially since my machine needs a tune-up, so I must part with it for awhile. {so glad I have my old girl ready to come to life ~ just like Frosty!} lol. 🙂
Have a great week!
Soli Deo Gloria!
