Time to roll into a new year. This past week has been so nice and with all the craziness of Christmas over I could just relax and slowly get back to a normal schedule. Sometimes though not sure there is such a thing as normal.
Right after New Year's Day I decided to treat myself to some new fabric. I have no idea what I plan to do with it, other than the top left fabric with the old pickups and the blue matching fabric. My husband was shopping with me and liked it, so it will become some placemats for our table. We use placemats for daily dining, I suspect others may end up getting used for that purpose too or a table runner for us or as gifts.
I have three rows of my scrap quilt finished, and the final row ready to add.
The layout has become interesting. I just had a picture of a block off Facebook, so no real idea how to lay it out and fabric scrap pieces were limited. I am pleased with it. It will probably go to my charity group with a prepared binding and they will quilt it and finish it off.
Other than that just continuing to work on some zipper pouches for my guild's upcoming quilt show boutique. The plan was to clean out my stash of zippers, which has not worked. Once I started these pouches they have become a bit addictive and I have had to purchase zippers to match the scrap fabrics and left over mesh I had. Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby's 99 cent zippers.

You'll have some wonderful table mats from those fabrics. You've gotten off to a good start for the New Year. I'm hoping for a peaceful year, though that's not likely.
ReplyDeleteGreat pouches and quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like the fabrics you added - they look like they could make fun pillowcases!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric duos! Perfect matches. And I think your pouches are just the best. I love making those, but I only need so many. LOL
