another homemade gift for a dear friend
I created the placemats in the Netherlands, just like these ones you might remember
all six of them colorful and bright
though I still have to learn how to make those corners nice and even
another sewing class might work for me
and guess what... I got myself into quilting class, starting this Thursday!
more about that later this week
~ happy me quilting in Canada ~
great colors.

How pretty! Check out the binding toot at Diary of a quilter. The corners are not as difficult as you might think. But the straight lines are if you choose to machine sew your binding on. If you do start sewing it on to the back piece and then you fold it over and sew it on from the front. THAT is the big challenge. How exciting with a quilting class. I want to take one too...
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colours and patterns, great job!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in need of sewing again now that the sunshine has left us :(
Wat een vrolijke placemats! En wat leuk voor je ... Quilten! Lijkt me moeilijk. Ik ben benieuwd hoe je het vind.
ReplyDeleteSucces!

Oh those are so lovely - I'm so jealous, I'd like you to make me some please!!!! Such pretty colours.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try a quilting class too but I also want to learn to sew and knit and all the rest of it. I wouldn't have time to work!
Hope you are settling in well in your new home and enjoying married life! Sounds like you're fitting in perfectly.

ReplyDelete"Ga bij een vereniging, daar ontmoet je mensen", zei de moeder van een vriendinnetje vroeger. We hebben deze opmerking vaak belachelijk gemaakt, maar er zit natuurlijk wel wat in. Ben benieuwd naar je quilts.
