Design Wall
Am preparing a few Christmas placemats for a binding demo / class later this week. Later, the guild will be donating them to Meals on Wheels for Christmas. Here’s a picture of one of them and it will have a flange binding on it. These placemats will help my fabric numbers, but since I started them yesterday, they definitely are not UFOs!
2 quilts finished (on my last post)
I finished the quilt that needs to be gifted before I show a picture. It was a UFO and I bought the backing and fabric for the appliqué. (Which I included in my purchases a few weeks ago.) It used a total of 4.5 yards of fabric.
The other is a simple flannel quilt that has already been donated to the guild. It used 4 yards of fabric. It also was a UFO that was languishing in the baby quilts bin.
Total yards used this week: 8.5 yards.

Hi Gail,
Oh how I love those cute little Christmas trees! And I really love the idea of making placemats for Meals on Wheels. I’m going to ask at my church if they do something like this. I would be tickled to get this adorable placemat. ~smile~ Roseanne

Great idea for teaching binding. I have admired flanges, but have never done one. Doing a small place mat would make sense as a way to teach myself.

Thanks, Jayne. Yes, small projects are great for trying new techniques. There are a lot of tutorials out there that teach flange binding … or 2 colour binding … most are easy to follow.
