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!

I needed a Christmas gift, so I took a break from making the 365 blocks to make Julie Cefalu’s Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher.
Julie’s patterns and tutorials are easy to follow!
I used the bonus half square triangles that I made from the pattern to create the wreath design for the back of the quilt.
I know that you may not be able to see from the photos, but the blue is a sparkly fabric…just right for Christmas!
Perhaps you would like to make one, too! Or maybe you would like to make one of Julie’s other patterns…she has great gift ideas!
The oak leaves haven’t dropped yet, but they are turning. I think they are pretty cool!

While internet surfing, I came across a cute tulip tutorial by Kristina at Center Street Quilts.
If I sewed three tulip blocks to make one placemat, the size would be 15″ x 18″…exactly the size of my accent tables (I have two of them…his and her’s you know)!
I wanted to get this made last month, to replace the Valentine placemats that are still on my tables.
I don’t have to decorate ‘in season’, do I?
One day, I might have enough seasonal table toppers/placemats to decorate in a timely manner.
That’s the goal.
