This week after finishing my king size bedspread, shams, and deco pillows has me finally getting into tackling some projects that really need to be worked on.
I have a quit top all started with these Eclectic Elements by Jim Holtz. It is just needing borders on it to finish it up. Hopefully I will have it finished and ready to post next week. However I ended up with 12 extra blocks left over. I made two of these table runners with them that are 27" by 18". Seemed a shame to waste them.My husband is my color expert so is my shopping sidekick. He saw this fabric at Hobby Lobby and decided it would be a great choice for placemats at our diner table. So that is a quick project to get going this week. One done and three to go.

so artistic! I love his lines of fabric. This one reminds me of the mixed media collage and ink things I've seen. LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage looking neutrals. Good way to use up the extra blocks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful placemats. The one selected by your husband is a fun fabric ;) Thank you for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteLovely place mats--[may I ask what your favorite size for placemats is? ] Since I can no longer make big quilts, I am concentrating on table runners and placemats myself...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. I need new place mats, mine coming to the end of its lifetime. Saw this awesome post at Craftastic Monday Link Party.

It's nice that your husband offers suggestions on your projects and likes to be involved.
ReplyDeleteHe was right - that's a perfect fabric for the placemats. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have a companion/advisor help you do fabric shopping and selection. <3 Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteI love that your husband chooses fabric for you! My husband does that too--he'll find something and say, hey isn't this great? which is his way of asking if I like it enough to use it in something. So sweet. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
