Summer Sewing Fun

I finished all four summer placemats. 
I'm really pleased!  They're very cheery!
The checked binding really did the trick,
don't you think?


I did the quilting with red, green
and white variegated thread.
And then while all my red scraps were out,
I made this cute little patriotic table top quilt. 
Do you remember the little Happy Jack
I made for Halloween last year?

 

I've wanted to make other little quilts to fit in that frame ever since.  I found this little quilt in the Quilts and More magazine from the summer of 2006.  It was not supposed to be a stand-alone mini-quilt, but was designed as a button-on pillow cover.


But it was the perfect 12 1/2" size for the stand. 
Cute, huh? 
I'm thinkin' I'm ready for summer now! 
So why the heck am I still teaching at school???? 
LOL!!
