Another Red and White Lap Quilt and some Small Items from Grandma's Red Needle

Yesterday was Sunday and 'blog day', but I was too pooped last night to even write a single word. Early Monday morning, cuppa in hand and here we go! :)

In my previous blog post, I had started working on some mug rugs, finished one as well as a couple of trivets. Monday came and the plan was to hand sew binding on the table runners that have multiplied lately. The goal was to do one each day for one week and they should be done.

My sewing table didn't look like this yesterday, what happened?!

When I finish an item, or items using the same fabrics, I tidy up the sewing table for fabrics and threads used. Leftover fabrics cut into squares in different sizes and stored away in boxes.

Custom order done and more thunderstorms from Grandma's Red Needle

The red and white lap quilt (custom order) is done!

Little gifts...petits cadeaux d'hôtesse... from Accroquilt

Before Christmas, I made some folded star pot holder. Always useful for everyone. You want to make some of them?

Here is the link.

Avamt Noel, j'ai confectionné 3 autres sous-plats pour donner en cadeau lors d'une réception. Toujours utile pour quiconque reçoit. J'aime bien le tissu uni pour former l'étoile. L'étoile est mieux définie à mon goût.

Les explications sont toujours sous l'onglet ''sous-plat de l'étoile pliée élégante'' de mon blog.

À la prochaine!
