Leaf Placemats Tutorial

 

 Fall is just around the corner.
 I thought some placemats would be a nice addition to our Fall table.
My tutorial is over on the Therm O Web Blog! 
You can make them too with a little
 Gold iCraft DecoFoil and fabric.

 

My First Rag Quilt

 Have you ever wondered what

30 yards of material and over a

mile of purple Aurifil thread

looks like?

 

The question swirled through

my mind for 12 weeks.

 

I am talking about my very

first commissioned quilt.

 

 

They have been collecting

Crown Royal bags for

many years and wanted

to have a quilt made from them.

 

The request was to make it a

rag quilt. 

 

Well, here it is all finished up.

 

 

 

 

It is another huge king sized quilt

and probably the hardest

one that I  have ever

finished for a number of reasons.

 

It was super heavy to sew after it started

getting so big.

 

 

 

 

During the photos,

my helpers arms were super tired

from holding it up. 

 

After the pictures were taken,

 I spent 6 hours clipping all the seams. 

 

It was for a special birthday and I heard that they loved it,

but it might have to be 30 below to use it.
