Taken for today's Looking Close... on Friday! theme of pushpins. I like this image, but the pushpins are actually pewter, so I ended up doing a mono version, too. I wasn't sure which one to post to the group but finally, chose the b/w, which if my next post. HLCoF
I don't usually post two photos on the same day, and especially not two of the same object, but I really couldn't decide between these two.

I liked how the sunlight passing thru this glass dispersed itself on the placemat, while the straw remained a solid shadow.
...woven using recycled cloth for the interior. The weaving structure is called "rep" and is widely used to make anything from larger rugs to small coasters. A cheap and environmentally friendly way to re-use/recycle old material. Washable and very durable .. here the interior was part of an old bedsheet! I love these placemats - they are large, sturdy and very colourful too!

Today I'm very excited: I'm about to go on a shooting expedition.
Not here in my usual surroundings, but over in The Big City. In a neighbourhood I've always always ALWAYS wanted to shoot.
It's rough. Um... very rough. But I have (for the first time ever) friends going with me. Good friends. Old friends. One of whom just bought his first DSLR and can't wait to get out and try all its coolness.
So... yeah. The roughest neighbourhood in Canada awaits me, with all its dirt and decay and decrepitude.
To quote my hero Paul Westerberg, I can't hardly wait.

These are constructed similarly to the coasters. Staggering the fabric blocks was a very smart move - accuracy wasn't my strong suit with these.

I LOVE it - thank you Stephanie!!!!!! Have just finished doing a little dance long enough to take a pic.
She also sent some lovely fabric but i forgot to take a pic of that as i was too busy dancing!
All is good wih the world today :-)
This is the front of the one I sent to Julie, jgmehlin. Liberated crosses with Fassetts and black/white fabrics. Organic horizontal quilting. Scrappy binding.
my kitchen is full of crazy awesomeness!
Barb (quilting barbie) totally went above and beyond and made me everything I could hope for! "I Spy" placemats for the girls and green ones for my husband and I, 2 hotpads, and 5 amazing little magnets PLUS some extra fabric of some of my favorites! Barb I love ya! :)
Canada's sesquicentennial on July 1, 2017
It's not hard to get revved up for this milestone.
Made by me.
Four place mats I made for my sister. Fall print fabric fat quarters from Dollar Tree with appliqued leaf and freehand machine quilting. Nov. 2025
Made from a folded placemat--just sew a few lines where you want the pockets. I did the embroidery before the pockets were sewn. This would be an easy thing to make to house any kind of card sets, etc.
This is the back of the placemat I made and sent to Julie, jgmehlin. Funky birds to liven up the back, organic quilting, removable leaves/label attached with snaps. Shot cotton background, appliqued birds. HST border on 2 sides. I'm very pleased with how it came out, but need to relax more when doing "liberated". I'm too persnickety I guess and I like order! lol
Just noticed- the color is pretty washed out on this- the greens are much brighter.
The birds were inspired by the work of mrsmoen. mrsmoenpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/02/funky-fowl-pattern.html
the most adorable placemat arrived on my doorstep!! yeah!! i LOVE it!! THANKS, amy!!

Today I'm finishing 10 placemats. These are so much fun to make using 'found' scraps in the bin. Busy inside while it rains outside. #cy365#captureyour365#whereistandtoday#ourwisproject#placematsbyo#placematart#fiberart
Sing a song of sixpence.. Here is the placemat that I made for Lucinda. I can post now that I know she has received it. The circle was made with a circular foot attachment that fixes to my machine. I programmed the words in and did the inner decorative stitching..as in blackbirds ; )
Crazy Tuesday: Reflections
I folded a plastic silver placemat with a cut-out design around a small round mirror (bottom half of photo). WIndow light came through the cut-outs and created this effect. This is a colour photo.
