I’m making placemats to go with the table quilt. I had a fair amount of a cream print left and cut six decent sized fronts.
I know. It’s a bit boring. My intention is to embroider coneflowers on them. It should help. I’ll bind each one in a different fabric.
These are three-inch sample squares. My crazy ex-girlfriend was going to throw them out because they were “too old”. How does cotton fabric get to be too old? She used to throw out all the left-over fabric from everything she made. Whole yards of fabric would go in the trash. I got some great stuff off her. Fabric is just something else to play with.
I took half the stack, flipped it over and sewed two together. I can’t sew them all because they should be nine squares wide and a little over five high. I’m hoping that they will look good enough to use on either side—-especially when I forget to flip them during shedding season. Luckily, Cora loves to be combed.
I thought I’d make some hats to sell. Since I’ve had about six thousand hits on Victoria”s Cloche, that’s what I’m going with. I’ll make a few then go back to socks.
