Hi there! Carla from createinthesticks is hosting the Foodie Blog Hop this month, I was thinking of making some Bowl Cosies or Placemats, I bought some material before Christmas to use for our placemats, and then my sewing group inherited a deceased estate fabric stash and suggested that we make some things for the people affected by the recent floods in Northern New South Wales, not far from me. So the fabric was sorted into plastic boxes with rough sizes together. Now the deal was to use the fabric to make some things but not buy anything extra and the quilt shop would quilt the quilts that were made. I grabbed a pile of black and white fabric I have always wanted to make a black and white quilt, a bundle of greens and a few other bits and pieces and I decided to make a set of placemats.
I was very happy with the end result a set of six new placemats for someone that lost everything. Now I will start on the two quilts that I have cut.
