Not patriotic but DONE! My mind always sees sugar plums dancing in my head when it comes time to do projects.
I cut fabric out to make reversible patriotic AND jungle/coffee print placemats for our friends. They frequently eat on TV trays so I made them extra big to fit the TV tray. Started on the jungle/coffee ones (they love coffee) and just finished after a couple of breaks. Patriotic ones will have to wait for another day/time. Time to scoot of the computer and get ready.
ps: I always sew my binding on one side and hand stitch on the other side. not today. much, much prefer hand stitching on one side but my placemats would not have gotten done in time.
