Kwiltr Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I made these placemats for our son, who has just taken possession on his first house. I had fabric left over from a quilt I'd made him last year and had come across some new fabric celebrating Canada's 150th Birthday this year so thought I'd stick with a similar theme to the quilt and he was fine with that. Here's a link to that quilt, if you're interested http://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/latest-finish-our-sons-new-quilt-t270046.html Anyway, I was wanting to try out my Lenni with a small project like that, just to see how it would go. I also like to do different backings on my placemats than just make them all the same with a solid piece of backing I also tried some new to me modern piecing techniques. So I finished them up today and thought I'd share. I'm happy with them and can't wait to take them to him and see his new house! Thanks for taking a peek!

LibbyG Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Kathy, God has blessed you with an exceptional degree of creativity. Thanks for the link to the stunning quilt. If I was from Canada, I'd have you make one for me. Those placemats are just stunning. I hope your son uses them and realizes what a special mother he has.

Kwiltr Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks everyone for your positive feedback! It's not a big, exciting project, but one I wanted to see if I could do it on the longarm vs my Sitdown. One has to think ahead about execution a bit differently and was happy and excited to be able to pull it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
