Many interruptions kept me away from my sewing machine this week but I did sew a bit.
Like these little bits for the sashing of The Hole In The Barn Door Quilt. (not yet trimmed.) Follow this link to see the quilt which I last worked on during the Orange month of 2021.
Do you secretly challenge yourself with your sewing?
Here's what I mean. I did 5 orange Star Bloom blocks. Then, for Jericho Wall blocks, I decided to use only fabrics that weren't used in those 5 blocks so the quilts won't look like twins of a different mother. You know what I mean? I believe I have enough orange to pull this through.
I used some arrow fabric in this one ...
and some books for the second one.
More blocks are cut and are ready by the sewing machine for the next sewing session.
I have just finished, yes at 4 p.m., I finished sewing down the binding for the Table Scrap Challenge.
Ta-Dah!
Can you see the kitty's shadows on the white fabric in this picture? That's what makes it so special.
The points of the triangle are present, compared to being cut off like they are on other placemats.
Oh, I know it isn't perfect. Nothing is. That binding corner needs to be redone I think. It was the quickest binding job I've ever done and it shows, haha. Anywho! I love it. So this is my entry for the Table Scrap Challenge. There's no embroidery but there's a chicken!
This picture shows the true orange colours. Bright enough? It matches my personality, lol.
That's all for now. There are still a few days left in August to sew more orange. Let's go!

Love that orange placemat! You don't need to redo that binding corner, just use and enjoy!
Bright orange with cows, and a blue chicken! Plus cats hidden in the white fabric! Nice job making something special just for you. You deserve it!
That is such a fun placemat! Love your design in pretty orange!
More lovely oranges - great finish on the placemat and I do love that white fabric with it's little cats. xx
Lovely orange works you've done:000 That placemat is so neat--I love it!! Hugs, Julierose
A wonderful orange placemat! It’s almost like an I Spy placemat with the cows and kittys and leaves, flowers, signs, chickens, sheep and I’m sure there are more fun things to spy.
That is a great placemat. Anytime the points all come out right is cause for celebration. And the fabrics you chose to highlight make a wonderful finish. I'm happy to hear you are keeping this one.

The orange placemat is too cute! I love those scrappy churn dash blocks. . .I think those will be my block for the RSC for 2023! I love the string sashing!
I totally agree the orange placemat is so lovely...

Such fun oranges. I don't use orange much, but I enjoyed making my blocks and seeing all the blocks others are making.
Love your orange placemat. I like all your orange creations. Blessings,
Superbe, j'adore ! Bravo pour les pointes parfaites, et les tissus rigolos. Les coins ? quels coins ;)) C'est très beau, et gai.
