I joined a placemat swap recently because it only involved making two placemats for someone by February. My "secret sister' wanted them with a Christmas theme, and, since I love working with Christmas fabrics during the season, I finished them yesterday. I'll pack them up and get them mailed so that she can enjoy them during this year's holidays rather than next year's. But I won't share a photo in case she reads this blog!
I am turning my attention back to quilting the red, white and blue Dutch quilt which was set aside while I finished a few other things over the last couple of weeks. I still have to make one more November block for my Low Volume Sampler, but I guess I'll push it into December. Here's what I have so far, incorporating Splendid Sampler, Moda Blockheads, orphans, and any other 6" blocks I might feel like making.
I will probably rearrange the blocks when I sash them before quilting to end up with five sections made for this year-long project. The first blocks have incorporated pieces from a set of linen "dishtowels of the month" that my dear friend Yve gave me years ago. They are a special memorial as she passed away suddenly last January.
