holiday wrap-up: scrap happy

I finished the placemats! I may have been hand-stitching the two-inch hole I used to turn them right-side-out the night before our first holiday gathering, but that's done in plenty of time, right? I ended up not top-stitching them because I wasn't super careful about squaring them up prior to sewing them together, and a few are a tiny bit wonky. I thought top-stitching would only draw attention to the minor imperfections. So voila! I love how cheerful they are ... it'll be hard to put these away for next year!

They are so pretty! I wish I could sew... I am always so jealous of such pretty projects!!! Happy New Year!

Love them! Here's a thought. Next time, use Christmas for one side and a Summer theme for the other. Or Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall themes back to back.

Thanks so much, everyone! I love the idea to do a winter/spring or summer/fall! But then again, these are so easy, it's fun to make a bunch of them! :)
