From a favorite vintage coffee advertisement. I love the variety of cups hanging by ribbons from the Christmas tree! The snowflake tablecloth is so pretty too. |
Thus, on Rudy Day I did not do one single, solitary Christmasy thing.
One thing I have been working on sporadically this week is cutting out pieces for pieced Christmas placemats like this one:
They match the runner I made a couple of years ago.
Well, they sort of match. I guess "coordinate" might be a better word. The fabrics will vary for each of them -- I am hoping to make ten mats -- because I am just using up scraps. I'm finding, though, that rather than using up all of my stash of scraps I am creating a good number of smaller scraps of Christmas fabrics.
Any ideas for using very small scraps of Christmas fabric will be welcome. I'm thinking of using some for card making and gift tags.
Don't fret...I forgot about it too!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea about the placemats and runners!! I wish I had more time so I could try all these craft ideas!!
Have a wonderful visit with your daughter and your family!!
Hugs,

Oh, I do feel better knowing that someone else didn't get to it, not just me. It really sneaked up on me. I had plans to do some Christmas crafting that day, but being Saturday it was a busy day and I just didn't find the time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the place mats and runners. They are easy and fun to make, and best of all they help use up my stash of Christmas fabric (so I will not feel bad when I buy more)!
