In my attempt to clean up after making the Gridlock quilt I am making strips sets to use for table mats with a modified Gridlock pattern. I have already made green, brown and purple. I'm using firm thick interfacing and fusible batting as my 2 layers of padding so they are firmer and flatter than a mug rug.
My birthday Amaryllis is blooming already. Usually they get really tall and threaten to tip over but this one couldn't wait. It has a second bud peeking out that hasn't grown at all in 3 weeks but I think it will start shooting up when all 4 of these buds are open.
What a lovely amaryllis--blooming beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteMy red/shite striped one is still unfurled and waiting to bloom...
Great idea for those mats using the firm interfacing...great use of leftovers...

Those placemats will be so pretty out of the Gridlock scraps. The amaryllis is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHmm, the amaryllis colors and the colors in the first photo are very related. Maybe that is why I love fabric so much.
ReplyDeleteI am SO looking forward to more mindless sewing in 2022 -- no more lists (or a lot fewer anyway) and NO monthly deadlines!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and bright amaryllis, I haven't bought one this year and seeing yours has reminded me, must go and have a peek at the local garden centre.
