Friday Night Sew In - in the afternoon!

Well, we are out tonight and I had a free afternoon with the added bonus of Test Match Special on the radio! (Sorry you Aussies are not doing so well!)

I decided to spend the afternoon making a present for my birthday stash using this gorgeous Egyptian style fabric that I bought in a sale earlier in the year.

My plan was a pair of placemats but as I was cutting I realised that the fabric was ideal for another friend so I cut enough for another mat.


I kept the design simple as I wanted to show off the gorgeous fabrics.


And at the end of the afternoon I have three mats pieced, layered up for quilting and bindings cut.


A profitable afternoon.

I hope everyone else enjoyed their evening and I look forward to see what everyone has done.

Bye for now.

    Hello Lin,

    I do love the fabric you are working on. Yes, it is a pity about the Aussie's.

    Happy days.

    Wow, what lovely fabrics! I like how you chose a simple design to showcase the wonderful fabrics. Have you decided how you're going to quilt them?
    Enjoy yourself,
