starting out easy quilted place mats. The only other thing I have ever quilted before were some baby blankets 20 years ago. This project isn't even close to flawless...but they are cute and I hope to improve

Denise: I love fall too. The only problem is that since I am a teacher, that is when I have to leave home and go back to work. My dh and I go for walks every weekend and I make applesauce for weeks. I do love it all, even the going back to work part I guess! |

I like your placemats. The fabric you chose, and the colors too, go well with the slightly primitive quality. All work together to be really charming! Nice job! When a quilt is too perfect, it somehow lacks warmth and the human touch.

They are lovely MaryAnn! My stuff is NEVER flawless, but I love to quilt anyways!

Oh I love your placemats MaryAnn! They are cute and I think you did a great job.
Sheryl-lyn,
Talking about all that makes me want Autumn to hurry and get here! It is my very favorite time of year but never seems to last long enough.

How cute! I was thinking about fall too when I saw them. Reminds me of apple picking time and homemade pies and applesauce. Glad you are having fun with it!

I love imperfections in any art form, that's what gives 'em character, and besides after all, we are not perfect. eh!
I like your color choice, makes me want Autumn to hurry up and get here....

Thanks Cheryl. My second one came out with the pieces a bit better matched but I have a long way to go to make these look professional..ha ha! I am making four total two with chicken and two plain...so two more "practices". I am using fleece batting in between the two layers. I guess it is really important to get those squares the exact same size so when you line up the strips the seams meet

Hi MaryAnn,
I love the chickens. You did a great job. I am just now quilting again. My dad moved in and there went my craft room. My son has since moved out and I have a room again!
