New fabric has arrived and I'm trying to find space for all of it. Many Christmas fabrics have been moved to the clearance section and are now 25% off---there is still plenty of time to make things to decorate at home. Think tablerunners, stockings, and......new Quilt-As-You-Go Placemats!
These are so quick and easy to make, and they're a great way to use novelty fabrics. Besides making placemats that are a perfect match in my kitchen, I can imagine lots of different sets for holidays, spring, fall, etc. Here is a picture of a couple that I made this morning (yes, they really are that quick to make)! The binding is made by folding up the backing, pressing, and top-stitching in place. I discovered that the easiest way to do this neatly is to use 1/4" Steam-a-Seam (what a great product!!) and press the binding in place. Topstitching it was a breeze! Wouldn't a set of these make a great gift?
It's hard for me to believe, but I am approaching my second anniversary in business. Thank you to all my valued customers!! I appreciate your business SO much and hope to be able to celebrate many more anniversaries. To celebrate this anniversary, I will be offering a 20% discount on any cut of 2 yards or more from November 30th through December 8th.
