A busy day… 5 crumb sewing placemats

 I have had a fun day sewing up my scraps.. I am making up some placemats for meals on wheels at the end of the year. I hope to get 50 made so I can donate them for Xmas gifts to recipients.

I have already handed over 3 and have now made another 5. I’ll have to keep track of the count.

So I see blogger is putting the photos in a different order so this will take some time to post…

I’m working with my scraps. It’s time to tackle this basket.

I found these in amongst my go cutter dies. So thought I should use them up first.

Flying geese blocks already cut out but needed sewing.

I am using a new machine foot I bought 2 years ago. We always buy these gadget things but don’t use them enough. It is a quilting in the ditch foot. Oh wow. I was scared to try it but I will be using it in many more future projects. It was easy and gave an amazing finish.

And the quilting is finished

Next up was another pink scrap project. Look at the pile of scraps."

And it is done…

Next up is a bright coloured placemat.

And it has worked out so well.

Then there was a lot of purple.

It looks so good finished

And then there was blue. The colour for February 

This looks good.

Here they are all together. They look great.

Here are the next 5 piles already sorted into their colours for my next sewing day.

Black/Grey, brown, red, green and yellow/orange.
