Snow is moving into Estes Park. It's 17°F outside, but it is warm and cozy in my sewing loft. I plan to spend most of the day finishing up the set of placemats I'm making for our camper. The fabric is a mix of red, black, and tan outdoorsy prints in a log cabin arrangement called Courthouse Steps. I'm following Donna Jordan's video tutorial. Here's a link to
Jordan Fabrics, where you can find lots of helpful patterns and videos. And here's a look at one of my placemat tops ready to be finished.
Trail Ridge Quilters had its first sale of the season last week, raising $3000 for our local medical center. My contribution included several felt gift card envelopes, hand appliquéd and embroidered in Christmas motifs. We sold all of them, but because they are so time-consuming to make, I'll work on other projects for upcoming sales.
