In between working on the blocks for the memory quilt for my Grandmother, I've been working on a birthday gift for a friend of mine. I take a weekly ceramics class and August is a busy month for birthdays there. My teacher, my good friend and her mom - all August birthdays. And our class is small. Only 5 students. We do one big August celebration. No need to have cake 3x in one month.
My teacher has a round table and has been asking for placemats to fit her table correctly. I bought this book by Gudrun Erla for another project (the super tote on the cover - I haven't made it yet) and in the book? Curved placemats!
I bought some Fig Tree fabric and some coordinating ones and got to work.
The fabric right in the middle is what I used for the backing. Quilting as you go is a wonderful concept. These were quick to sew up. Just need to take a pressing to them, box them up and wrap. Good to go.
Enjoy your day!
