MAKE YOUR LEFTOVERS FUNCTIIONAL

Hello Quilters.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  What did you do?  I played.  I had some left over pieces from a table runner that I was making for the Attic Window Quilt Shop for their Jingle Bell Hop and decided to not let them go to waste.  I made a hot dish mat and a coaster.

 This is a close up of the hot dish mat. 

I hesitate to show you this coaster, because it is far from perfect, but figure it will be okay to use during the upcoming holidays.

I also made this hot dish mat. After experimenting unsuccessfully with free motion quilting, I was going to throw it away.  Then wondered if it would look any better with a binding.  Guess it's not too bad and may come in handy when I need another hot dish mat when company comes during the holidays. 

MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW:
