Checkered Placemats

 I can now hand sew again after surgery, had a part of a stich in the wrist left behind, removing it made a big difference, even though it was only 5 mm long. Finishing some quilting projects; binding is comming on! First to get done are these two checkered placemats. A very beautiful pattern/picture fabric requires a simple patchwork. But this is getting a little boring. I need a challenge, but first I will finish a few bindings!

Some ambitious goals for 2011:

• try to purchase only fairy plain fabric in beautiful colors and all shades.
• no purchase of new yarn before at least one project is finished
• not start a new project unless I finish another one (quilting and knitting)
• improve my quilting skills
• know what to do with the finished project before starting them
• set up as a ravelry designer
• have one quilting pattern published
• sell a large quilt
• have one knitting pattern published
• host my first giveaway or do something to get more blog readers. Get spellchecking working.
