Halloween Placemats

I made these placemats for my friend Lois for her birthday. These were so much fun to make. Happy Birthday Lois!

Wednesday Stamping Oct 21

This stamping day was a birthday celebration for Lois whose birthday is Oct 25. I made a Tex-Mex Tortilla Soup that was given in http://deedeecampbell.blogspot.com/ and Marie brought a delicious garden salad. For dessert, and because all of us are trying to diet, we had chocolate cupcakes made with a cake mix and can of pumpkin and topped with fat free Cool Whip. I forgot to take pictures of all the beautiful cards that were handmade and given to Lois. I suspect that in time they will show up on her blog, http://www.gingerbreadaholic.blogspot.com/.

As usual, each person brings a card and supplies for all of us to make. We walked away with some great cards. Thanks to all of my stamper friends because sometimes this is an added chore to our already busy lives.

Quilted Placemats

I love to make placemats and especially using fall colors. You start with a square in the middle and sew strips around it. It's a cut, sew and flip method and very fast. The next project is a Christmas table runner. It's probably the closest thing to a quilt that I'll ever do. I'm better with small projects.
