Pumpkin Love

I started making Pumpkins and ended up with placemats and a runner. I had bought a bunch of orange fabric quite some time ago when it was on sale. I seemed to never use it so I started making small squares and this is what I came up with.  They make me happy and seem to last a long time on my table.They kind of remind me of hand grenades.  Oh well.

Br. B's Ties Revisited- Placemats

I had many ties left so this was the next t4ie idea.  Very simple placemats.  I opened the ties up and sewed them together! Simple and sweet.



Place Mats.

I had this crazy idea to make place mats for my dining room.  We just had our house rewired and I ordered my first chandelier so I wanted my table to look dressed up but  not eat up the room.  I wanted each one to be different and subtle but not uniform. I wanted your eyes to travel around the table and look at them.  I sound like I have shit my together but when a friend told me they look like something you would make at Girl Scout camp I could not stop laughing or my girlfriend's mother who thought my fish wash an egg or a pineapple. I am glad that everyone has a sense of humor and an imagination. Being able to laugh at  your work is really a great feeling.
I made the stripes, added the fabric, put batting in the middle and away we go.

How they start.
