on a straw placemat

I used a little LED light to light the inside, and a flash on low power to light the outside. I think the focal plane in this image is really interesting too.

For Smile on Saturday theme "Mad About Mats".

I'm a grab me some shrimp fried rice. Test the chilli beef while I'm at it. Too much of course.

I liked how the sunlight passing thru this glass dispersed itself on the placemat, while the straw remained a solid shadow.

I made this for Elise and put a pocket for her cutlery.

Placemat

Tutorial blogged here

These are by far my most favorite thing I have ever made. I hope partner that they are something that you can use (Placemat, wall hanging, etc.) because they are really calling my name.

Placemats are 18"x 14"

The 4 placemats I made for my Urban Home Goods swap partner. :)

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.

Finally ~ made something for ME! I made six of them.

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.

Placemat

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.

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

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 ; )

the most adorable placemat arrived on my doorstep!! yeah!! i LOVE it!! THANKS, amy!!
