Sewing Box Scraps

I recently made a seasonal table topper using Kathleen Tracy‘s pattern from A Prairie Journey.

I liked it so much! It was fast and it was easy to make! You can see that post by clicking here.

So I decided to make another table topper, or placemat, for the Christmas season.

Ta da!

It is hard to take a decent picture on a gray rainy day!

I know that you can’t see it, but all of the red and gold scraps have a metallic sheen to them.

I also quilted it with gold Sulky sliver thread that I have had in my stash forever (love this stuff)!

Have fun and carry on!

365 Challenge Scrap Placemats

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!

Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher

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!
