I was so excited when Sarah finished my placemats. I made a set of twelve.
She chose a beautiful Sashiko quilt pattern to enhance the bamboo Paintstik panel and the fabric my mom brought back from Japan 15 years ago!
Now, I have my work cut out for me binding them all, but I'm getting started.
I've had a new project in mind for a bit, and yesterday, while working in the shop, I found the perfect combination of fabrics for it. I believe I'm already thinking fall....wanting to just skip the 98 degree humid summer days in Philly.
I finished the center piece for the new block-of-the-month that I am working on for the fall (there it is again...my favorite season). Now, I will begin the twelve blocks that will surround this. I'm ready to go...
My days are simply filled with looking for time with my machine....but the cat littler is calling again, and the dishes are begging to be cleaned....not to mention that my children want to eat. I could go without food and sleep just to be in my studio creating something...anything!

These are so beautiful! i love how you're so creative with fabric.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. You don't have your email address enabled (through Edit Profile) so I'll answer your question here. There is no set size for mug rugs. I had the same question before I made any. I like the shortest side no smaller than 7.5" and the longest no more than 11" and I usually just let the patchwork dictate the size.
