We are heading up into the mountains this weekend to attend a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for some college friends, so I thought I would combine my usual two weekend posts into one.
This week, I finished up the scrappy placemat that I started out of the scraps from the Lyra tablerunner project. It was fun to see what would happen when I cut the blue floral leftovers into smaller pieces. There might even have been fussy cutting involved!
Here's the whole thing - the border and binding are a new purchase that I just love. The Lyra quilt needed binding, and I didn't have enough of anything in my stash to complete it, so...
This is Woodland Wonder by Gingiber for Moda. I love it!
Now that I've cut into it, is the rest of it considered to be scraps? 😘
I'm sure this will show up in other projects!
The pile of placemats is continuing to grow!
My slow stitching involved some pastel colors this week, too. Stamp #5 in the Summer SAL is mostly finished. It is the Summer Quilt stamp - remembering picnic quilts and the fun of going on a picnic, which I still love to do. It's supposed to have white filling in around the star and in the borders which I am putting off, lol! That's not my favorite part of cross-stitching.
Stamp 6 is in progress - a pitcher of Pink Lemonade!
A lemon and some lemon slices will be added to the strawberries
around the pitcher.

Good for you for tackling the scraps! Enjoy the celebration this weekend.
Are you keeping/using your placemats. Pretty fabric for the border, way to go using the leftovers! Have fun in the Mountains:)
Oh that's a pretty placemat, and I love your fussy cuts. The border fabric is gorgeous! Your summer stamps look so pretty. I've still not gotten going on that, but I'm thinking I might not fill in the white. We shall see. Your trip to the mountains sounds like heaven to me!
Your latest placemat turned out lovely!! I like the back fabric too;)))
and your stitchery is coming along so nicely...fun things in the works at your place;)00 hugs, Julierose
Enjoy your trip this weekend. Hope you get to hang out with a few college buddies. That Moda fabric is really fun. Great placement. Hope you have some time for a bit of slow stitching this weekend.
That's quite mound of placemats you have created. Enjoy the party. Should be fun getting together with your friends.
Have a fun weekend! Those placemats are adding up! The latest addition sure was a great way to use scraps!
