At last block 5 of Sweet Tweets is done. I pretty much have spent the last 2 weeks making placemats. First for my youngest daughter, 2 sets of 8 and then 2 sets of 4 for myself. I think I am placemat done. I did take some time to take down all my fall wall hangings and table runners and Christmas ones replaced them. Getting into the spirit of the season.
This particular block was a bit of a challenge. Lots of appliqué work on this one. I am doing my appliqué by machine with invisible thread, my preferred brand is Quilters Select, and I do a very tiny button hole stitch on my Bernina 750 using a 1.6 width and 2.0 length.And my finished second set of Christmas placemats. I just love this particular fabric and I quilted them with an Aurifil 28wt turquoise variegated thread in a serpentine stitch. So time to do some Christmas baking now.
