Placemats and Napkins

I have wanted to do something for the special people in my life so I'm slowly making my way through a list in no particular order. Currently I've been working on some placemats and napkins for my one of my best friends. It's a surprise so don't tell her! :) I finished up a 4 placemat set and decided to use the extra left over fabric to make some napkins of various sizes. Here are a few pics:

Memo Board

The memo board is finally complete and hanging on my craft room wall. Finally! Decided to use fabric buttons which was a little challenging, but after making almost 35 of them and sewing them to the intersections it has found a nice place on my wall!

I used the Moda Spirit Charm pack to make the memo board. I absolutely love how it turned out! If you want to make one, below is the tutorial information.


I used this tutorial found here Eva Patchwork Memo Board by Melissa Mortenson @ www.polkadotchair.blogspot.com

Pillows, Memo boards, Staining etc.

I've been working on several projects over the last 3-4 weeks my first I started was a circle quilt that I'm not sure if I'll ever finish.. Maybe it's the fabrics I used but I'm not sure.. but for some reason, I'm just not feeling it, so it's been set aside. See below:



Then I started working on a new project memo board. I found a few tutorials online and am have gotten to the "adding buttons" portion but haven't found the buttons I want to use yet.



I've also made several pillows for my bed and sitting room of my bedroom: Some are full pillows and some are slip cover pillowcases and also a table top for my new magazine nightstand:





Additionally, I have been staining the frame for the memo board a darker color and also staining a table that will be used in the sitting room of my bedroom once it's all ready.


Finally, I've started working on a project for a best friend of mine: Placemats for her table. Here's the first top I've put together.




I think I might have wanted a little instant gratification with the big/little projects that are all in progress right now at the same time. But at least I'm keeping busy and happy!
