merrily you sew along: improv placemats

a big thanks to all of you who've been sewing along with merrily we sew along! Kelley made this beautiful second set of placemats, and i've been inspired by the beautiful versions showing up in the flickr group.


because thanksgiving is quickly approaching, we decided to extend the due date for project one: improv placemats by one week, so you now have up until the end of november 21st to enter your project for a chance to win some very awesome prizes! Aurifil is giving a Simply Color collection set (that's over 17,000 yards of 50wt thread, folks!!!) and we also have a set of four fabulous craft books (including improv sewing) from Storey Publishing.


here are some of the awesome placemats that have been entered so far:




happy stitching!

  2. Hmm, somehow I'd missed this challenge, but I was thinking I needed some placemats for food styling for the food blog, so maybe I need to put all my other commitments to one side and work on some instead ;o)

  3. Finished 1/3 of my placemats last night and have a really good start to the other 2/3! Do I upload my pictures to the Flickr group to be entered into the super fly contest?

  6. Everyone one has inspired me and their choices and the simplicity that making home projects can be. I will enjoy doing more and what I can do, with the perfect team to head me in the right direction..
