Monday Making

This is a partial look at my stack of Table mats.
There are SEVEN that have been quilted!
YEAH!
:)
That means there are
SEVEN that need binding.
and....
 SEVEN that need ME to roll that binding over the raw edge
and HAND stitch it down!!!
:/

I'm not sure there are enough meetings
and doctor appointments to give me the TIME
I "need" to do all that hand stitching.

I just MAY have to resort to netflix as I stitch.
Poor me.
LOL.

I also finished a HAND WOVEN baby blanket this week.
This project makes me SMILE!!!

This blanket was warped up with a few colorful yarns
and THEN....
I wove with WHITE yarn to soften the color.

I hope to add binding to this blanket in between the table mats this week!
I COULD turn the raw edge there under.
 But this time I want to try a binding.

Weaving has been a learning experience for me.
and I LOVE learning HANDS ON!

What are YOU making this week??

  1. I love all the table mats. If I was closer, I'd offer to do the binding. I really enjoy binding and think it may just be my favorite part of quilting. :-)

  2. Oh the mats are looking great, particularly like the four patches with the lemon border. And weaving, wow, seriously impressive.

  4. How do I say, Bowled over and super impressed! You weave, too? It's absolutely beautiful! I used to stand and watch a local weaver make his specialty rugs, and the rhythm and sound was so soothing. You are multi-talented!

  6. Wow -- you are making placemats AND now you are actually weaving your own blankets by hand, like one yarn at a time?! I am so unworthy!
