There has been plenty of sewing around here and if the weather decides to brighten up a bit (a lot) I'll be able to take decent photos and show you.

In the meantime here are a couple of placemats and napkins commissioned by Mr M for a business friend

Once again I had to raid my stash for some favourite fabric (the downside of having the same taste as your husband's...)

... but I'm very happy I did.  For the back I used a lovely mellow linen

And last but not least... today was the 2nd day of 'Seven days of specialness' and here's my treat:

Beautifully chosen and perfect to replenish my depleated stash!!

I am glad you are enjoying your gifts. I think you'll make something amazing with these fabrics - your quilting is so good. I have a couple of unfinished quilts that you're inspiring me to finish. A x

look at your perfect corners! Sublime.

And Aoife's taste is pretty special too!

Oh, I love those pretty placemats, Monica. Your quilting stitches are so neat and the fabrics are absolutely perfect together. Lucky you....I think Aoife is a sweetheart!

I love the fabric - from the stash, and from the swap!

This is a really interesting posting on quilting. I have always found this work very fascinating. The designs in these images are beautiful.
