You do make it sound so easy, WMU, and I'm fairly sure that once I got started I could do it, but it's that first step... it's a doozy!

On the bright side, today I did take a step or two into the sewing room - I had some placemats that I was working on in the fall that had been put to the side during the busy holiday season. Some of them still needed to be quilted, so I decided to try to get at least one done. The one got done and that led to the other three also being finished! Woo hoo!

All of my placemats are stash-busting projects. While a few of them were actually finished last year, they weren't done in time for the donation deadline so I'm counting them as 2026 finishes. They will probably stay with me until the summer as the guild is planning a show and storage is at a premium, but they're ready to go when the call goes out! I am rounding my measurements up to half a yard per placemat (it's not a gross exaggeration, especially when you factor in the frankenbatting), so I'm happy to report 3.5 yards of stash have been meaningfully repurposed. :-)
