Placemats (pt 2)


This morning, the girls and I worked on a placemat top for their mother.  Emma drew a picture...


...then the girls rummaged in my scrap bins for fabrics.  






Emma picked out all the thread for the machine applique.  I'm gonna convert those two to quilting, yes, I am!

    This one and the ones in the previous post are so cute and what a great idea to use with the girls! You made memories for them, not just placemats. :o)

    These are such a neat idea to do with your grandchildren. But that mug with the steaming coffee is so cool! Sarah

    I think it is in their genes. Great color sense.

    It's wonderful that you are able to make these placemats with your grandchildren. Spending such fun, quality time together creates such good memories as well as a strong bond between you.

    I love the placemats your GD's designed. Isn't fun teaching them something new. I've taught my 3 GD's to sew. But only one is interested in quilts. One is interested in fabric. Not sure what the other one is interested in....she's a teenager. lol I am enjoying your posts. Hugs

    I love these place mats! What a great grandma you are. They will remember doing this with you all their lives. I had a grandfather who taught me the joy of handiwork, and I am grateful to him everyday of my life. Cheers!
