I finished putting the last stitch in these Christmas placements just in time for the Christmas Through the Year challenge.
These are simple little placemats, easy to put together, and look good in any fabric choice. They were made from my old Christmas stash; some nice fabrics, some not so nice, but when mixed together they work. I had an extra yard of the one fabrics used in the placemats, so I cut four napkins and surged the edges.
This is the same pattern that I posted last week, along with the tutorial, except I used 4" strips of yardage rather than charm squares. If you want to use yardage you will need eight 4" strips by wof, or you could just cut 80 4" scraps. You can see my Sew Charming Placemats and tutorial here .

Another Christmas present finished; I am going to be so ready this year---------I hope.
If you would like to get a head start on your Christmas projects just go on over to Quilting Daze or Polka Dots and Rick Rack. Nothing to join, just make one Christmas project a month and post a picture to Quilting Daze on the last day of the month. Several times a month Cheryl at Polka Dots and Rick Rack post ideas and tutorials for Christmas sewing.
Did I hear Jingle Bells or was that the Easter Bunny?
Enjoy all the pieces of your life,
