Really, I had no idea that any of you cared that much. :) This is going to be a quick post because I have to finish packing before I catch a flight this afternoon that will take me to the third week of Joni camp. (Hold back your tears, girls.) Between addressing wedding invitations this week, I've had a bit of time to do some sewing on the blanket and other things. Lets start with a picture of the fabric shall we...
Since this picture, I've decided not to use the solid green. It isn't quite the right shade. I have enough fabric between the others, so I'm leaving it out. I spent my free time one day cutting all of the above fabric into 4 inch squares. Next picture...
Ah, yes...I've finished about 20 squares so far, but didn't get a picture of them all. Here are a few completed ones. Now you have an idea of the pattern. It is coming along, and I'm really enjoying the process. Oh, and the black isn't a solid. It's a polka dot.
On Saturday I pulled off the road and went to a yard sale. I'm very glad that I did because I found about 5 yards of the below fabric for only 50 cents! I wasn't stained or anything.
Since I've been in the mood to make picnic things, I decided to turn it into picnic placemats with a pattern from my Simple Sewing book. I even had the ribbon I needed in my stash.
Complete with a pocket for the silverware. That is my favorite part.
I'll be making more of these when I get back. There is so much of that fabric. I guess that is all for now. Have a great week everyone.
