Placemats

When I first got to Tennessee I found some fabrics that I loved. But since I've just started learning how to piece things together or even use a sewing machine I thought that I'd start small so I made some placemats out the material. I'm really proud of these because I figured out how to line up the squares all by myself. It made me feel accomplished. Not like I'm a great sewer or anything, but by the end of the project I had even managed to sew straight lines and control the speed of the machine. Too bad I haven't been able to make anymore since I've been moving and I haven't gotten to set up my sewing maching yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to make more stuff. I'm going to make a Wildlife in a Jar quilt on my next attempt. It'll be very summery.
