When Sandra from mmm!quilts posted about making placemats earlier this month, it got me thinking. A little over 7 years ago, in Novemer 2012, I made a set of 4 placemats for my husband and I to use at home based on a tutorial by Alissa, one of the co-founders of the Modern Quilt Guild. I didn't reduce the presser...

As I mentioned in my last post about making a tea cozy, my husband's sister, Steph, was out for a visit with us at the end of last week. I had previously made a set of 4 placemats for use with the beautiful fiestaware she finds at yard sales. Because there are so many colors of fiestaware and because...

After finding a wonderful tutorial on sewing circular quilted placemats and practicing on a set, this weekend I was ready to sew the requested round placemats.

I had previously made myself a set of 4 placemats using this tutorial by Alissa. I wanted another quick stash busting project on Sunday afternoon, and I decided to use her tutorial as a starting point, but I modified it a bit.
