This was my Chookshed Stitchers Challenge priority work for July.
I am very happy with how these placemats turned out, and my oldest daughter is very pleased with them too. Since we both have been on different summer activities, she has not received them yet, but I have kept her updated with photos. She needed 5 placemats - I made 6 😊
The yarn stash shrinking will be an ongoing activity for a long time.
I finished my striped socks, for myself, and I made a pair for a young man with far bigger feet than what I have 😀
No adding to my yarn drawer, and I am passing all sales with a smile.
My grandsons, age 3 and 5, think Paw Patrol is super cool.
When visiting in USA before Christmas, I bought 1 yard of fabric with Paw Patrol,
I have had a plan, but it has been procrastinated big time.
It did not take me to long to make 2 bags, suitable for carrying Lego when visiting. They both were very excited, and the little one filled his bag with Lego right away.

This table topper / tablecloth has been moved and moved and moved around my sewing room, the top nearly finished, for quite some time (as in years)
I found from some old photos that is was started in 2021.
Well - now it is done, and I am so happy with the result.
I used my favorite blue fabrics.
I have used English Paper Piecing. The borders are hand appliqued on, so I did not have to cut of anything. I have machine quilted in every square + border by sewing machine.
The last stitch in the binding was yesterday afternoon.

I did not expect to get so much done in July, but summer has been very wet and on the colder side this year. Tourist are coming to Norway for something they call Coldcation, since our climate is so much colder than the rest of the world. Good for those having it to hot - not so good for us who live here........ I wish we could get some warmer weather too, but what can we do, other than making the best of it 😊
Now to find what I will work on in August!
💖 Wishing you a wonderful day where you are 💖

I love your placemats they look really nice and the EPP is always great to see
ReplyDeleteHanne those placemats are beautiful and the little bags for the children are so cute. Your finished EPP quilt is lovely, I like the way you have quilted it. Such pretty blues.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful lot of finished projects, well done! The placemats for your daughter are lovely, she is sure to love them.
ReplyDeleteYour placemats are lovely and will make a great addition to your daughters table. Love the socks, well, the stripey ones especially! Great work on your other projects too - I love a bit of EPP. xx
ReplyDeleteThe blue quilt finish is gorgeous, and I love the socks. Great job on your self control in not buying more yarn. Your feet do look child sized in comparison to the big socks.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful projects completed and I especially love your blue quilt.
