Philisophical Pfridays

Hey look up. Any ideas on how to get my custom header to look normal???|

Fridays are for thinking about anything but work. So grab a button from my sidebar to play along.

I've been thinking about friends and family lately because I am going home on Saturday for the first time in over a year. I am pretty terrible at keeping in touch so I will be armed with gifts to make up for me being a bad daughter/sister/friend.

My mom will finally get her Bargello

I'll show you a picture of it on her bed and let you know what she thinks of it when I return next week.

I also made these placemats a while back and never photographed them until today. I will give them to my longtime friends. The center blocks were made using the same improv piecing technique I spoke about in my latest WIP wednesday post. 

 

The blocks were sashed in a cream from Connecting Threads and bound with the same cream. I usually use a contrasting binding but I like the floating effect this gives.

 

Brown Town

 

Purple Pop

 

Blue ocean

 

I quilted with loops. Here is a close up of the quilting and the fishy.

 

Red Hot (I know the names of these are sooo original)

 

Here are the other sides of the placemats. See I only made 4 but both sides are really pretty and unique so you will never get bored. Bow down to the placemats!

 

Think Pink. Love the little birds in this one.

 

Green Bean

 

Sunshine Yellow

 

Elephant Gray

Close up of elephant and quilting detail. I think this might be my favorite side. Or maybe the blue one. Its hard to pick a favorite. I love the style of these so much that I am making more of the center blocks and will be turning it into a quilt.

My pups help to take the pictures

This post ended up not being so philosophical but I can't be profound all the time. I will be away all weekend and in complete sewing withdraw when I return late Monday night. 

Happy Friday Quilteroonies.
