More placemats for Christmas – Project 2

2 Replies

I was asked by a friend to make some placemats for a christmas gift. We found some great New York themed Home Essential Fabric from Joann’s which will work great for the recipients.

These are simple placemats – New York fabric used for the front, Striped fabric for the back, dark brown binding and straight line quilting used to join everything together.

 

Neck-tie wall art

Leave a reply

Previously, I had made some cushions using neck-ties, and while looking around I saw this photo of neck-tie art. That has inspired me to make my own wall art from neckties. I am planning of framing it in a shadow box.

I am still thinking of adding some more ties but this is how it looks at the moment.
