My first finished project of the year is two placemats made from the scraps of the 365 Challenge quilt.
I know that I should have taken the time to center that cable quilting, but it is a placemat, not an award winning masterpiece. Do we really care?
All of the scraps are sorted and put away.
The sewing machine is cleaned up.
The sewing studio is tidied up.
I feel pretty good about 2023!
Quilt On!

You are officially done and done with anything related to 365 project fabrics! Over and beyond – ushering you into yet another year of quilty pursuits! I bet that sewing room doesn’t stay so neat and tidy for long.

It feels so good, Laura! Ready to move on! Today, I cut out kits for 14 potato baking bags. I have never used one, so I have to go over the top making them. Ha, ha! Actually, I will keep one and the rest will be gifts. And none will be made from 365 fabric! 🙂

It didn’t help a lot. There are more parts, but they went into the Parts Department. I have had enough of them. Ha, ha! 🙂
