Friday check in: placemats

 I skipped Reflections, the AAUW book club, on Wednesday because I hadn't read the book.   Instead I took a walk at the state park.  I hadn't been there since early January (too cold, or too busy, or traveling).  It was good to be back on the path. Now if I can get back in the habit.....





Dogwood is reddening up.  Fungus looks like little flying saucers.

The quilt guild meets by Zoom in January and February.  It was nice to be back in person this Wednesday evening.  One of the guild members, an art teacher (retired; with a previous career in fashion textile design) talked about color theory.  Her explanation was easy to understand and most informative. 


In the studio:  

21 placemats finished!  I'm aiming for 130 for the February, 2027 Rotary spaghetti dinner project. 

More placemats are underway. 

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday  From Bolt to Beauty 

Have a good weekend, everyone!

  3. It does feel good to be back out walking when you haven't been in awhile! Your placemats are always fun to see. I bet the recipients loved them this last time!

  4. That is a great start on the placemats. It's a good way to use up all of those pieces and parts that are never going to make it into a quilt.

  5. What are the dimensions for your placemats?

  6. Hope your walking routine falls right back into place again. That’s a big goal for placemats but plenty of time.

  8. Hi Nann! Your SAHRR turned out well! I stopped on mine because it wasn't working. As one reader suggested, it needed a time out! And I'm amazed at your placemat goal. At present I'm limiting myself to re-supplying my stash of table runners to use as hostess gifts.

  11. Glad you could get out to the park. We have some wonderful city parks in my town and 2 of our beautiful state parks are only an hour away. Looking forward to getting on the trails soon.
