If you are feeling the Christmas Spirit and you have bits of Christmas fabric scraps you're wondering what to do with, why not make up a placemat or two, for Meals on Wheels? We donate placemats to this great cause every year; in the past any "leftovers" went to the Veterans Unit where they were truly appreciated as well. Here are a few at the left to inspire you!
Today's workday was a great success. As the first snowfall drifted down and we watched our cars in the parking lot get their first coating of the white stuff, we merrily sewed the day away...About 20 members showed up to get a good start on their Christmas projects.

any were assembling their Mystery Quilts, others worked on placemats, tablerunners, Skinny Santas, Snowmen and/or Angels, and numerous other projects. Thanks to Lois and Valerie for organizing the Mystery Quilt - it was good fun!! Also thanks for the "skinny patterns" for the Santa, Angel and Snowman - they are so cute!! It's always a good day when you can sit and sew- and even better when you can do it with friends :)We hope you are busily sewing up Christmasy things to bring to our Christmas Party on Dec. 8th - let's have a great big ole Show and Tell....
Oh, that really does make it seem like Christmas. I love the look of the tall skinny banners. It's neat how the mystery quilt is ends up looking like interlocking red and green circles. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe skinny banners are awesome. Is there a pattern for those?
ReplyDeleteSandra - No, not a commercial pattern. One of our members just drew them up.
ReplyDeleteLove the mystery quilt. The skinny banners are adorable. Looks like Santa's elves were very productive and also had lots of fun sewing. Lucy
ReplyDeleteSo....would it be o.k. just to copy the skinny patterns from the image? Is there a copyright or anything??
ReplyDeleteI don't believe there is an issue with copyright here. I'm sure you can draw your own- just start with a tall skinny triangle, then fill in the face, beard, hat, etc. Make up your own pattern!! You can do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteUpon re-thinking my previous comment re. Copyright, I think it would probably be best to just come up with your own pattern. I'm sure her idea came from somewhere, and perhaps the whole Copyright issue would come into play... We have to be very careful about taking others ideas....
