Yesterday a few of my favourite quilty friends and I did a class at the quilt store. It was a Susan Murphy class, and we were working on Christmas items.I chose to make the placemats, and here is the one I made up yesterday. Isn't it super cute! The fabric with the poinsettias was from my stash, and the red and gold one was purchased on the day - I don't have much red, and this one I thought was the perfect compliment.
Now, I know this will make Kim happy - in the spirit of stash enhancement and because I liked the fabric so much - I purchased an additional metre of each - you just never know when you might need it!
Today it's my hope that I'll be able to start quilting on my 'Galaxy of Scraps' quilt top - I haven't made any plans for today so I can get busy on it, but you just never know what will come up ... Have a great weekend everyone! x o x

Cute placemats. I really ought to make myself some new one.
Of course you needed more of that fabric :)
That is a great poinsettia fabric...love the placemat pattern that you're using. :>
I'm loving the colors in this placemat. Great color choices.
I'm presuming you made up this pattern? Just slicing the fabric and sewing some to each side. You are so artistic. Love it. Before you know it you will be up with Kim in buying extra.
Lovely!! I really like the Christmas colors. And fast finishes are fun!
