I finally finshed the placemats. I made 6 of each month and made them reversable. I thought I would never get them done. They are for Christmas gifts this year. Do I get a prize for starting my shopping this year?
I have to say that my free motion quilting sure did improve.

Mary

Wow, you are organised....I can't think of xmas just yet....maybe in November tee hee!!!!

Those are lovely, and what a great way to practice free motion ....thanks for the tip!! :D :D

Wow you sure are preductive and they look great :P

That is so clever. I give you kudos for starting your Chrisitmas gifts early. Should be an inspiration to the rest of us.

Wow, you really do deserve kudos!!!! They are all wonderful, you did a great job! :D :D :D

I started getting bored about April 1, but I stuck with it. I am so glad that they are done. One set of 2 each are going to my mother for Christmas, but I don't know what I will do with the rest. I figure that if I had to make 2, I might as well make 6 each.

Those are really cute!

WOW you sure were busy and they all look amazing.

Congrats Mary, glad you got them finished! I only made the shamrock one and found the pattern very fiddly.

Very nice! :) Good job! :)

Very nice work. And creative.

Well, Thimble, it may have been fiddly but I really love it and think of you each time I use it - what a friend :) .

Very nice and great that you have started your presents so early.

What a neat idea! Those are really cute.

Very nice, great job!

Queen what a great idea and accomplishment! Those are great!

Those are great! You can send a set my way.

WOW! Wonderful! :-)

I have started making a few pressies to put in with the main presents.... have made a couple of half towels which are gathered on to a nice shaped top which has been stitched in around the edges... you put part of the top over a towel rail and push the two pieces of velcro together.... have quite a few more to do.... have the towels and materials but lacking in time at the moment. Thought I would be early for a change !!!

I am willing to take the extras off your hands, you don't have to beg...I'll do the begging! :lol:

Love them, you did a great job and can't imagine anytime in my life getting Christmas projects done this early!

warm quilt hugs, sue

I love this idea !! Did you make up your own patterns, or did you get the patterns from somewhere................as in.................can I get the patterns for myself :?: :?: :lol: :lol: ;-)

I collected them from www.animas.com. It took me a year because she only puts up two months at a time. If you want, send me your email address and I can send all 12 months.
