1st Christmas gift done!


Ok, first a confession, the picture below is not the project that I completed for this month.  But, it is what I completed.

Let me explain.  I made another placemat storage bin but I could not find my camera (I think it may be at work).  And blog posts without pictures are not all that interesting.



So, I found a picture of the first placemat storage bin that I did and am substituting it until I can find my camera and correct the picture.

These bins are so very easy to do.  I watched the YouTube video from Lorrie Nunemaker.

In fact, she has an entire series of videos about using placemats to make bins, zippered pouches and other things.

I have made several other items from her videos and may be making more of them as Christmas gifts because they are so easy and fun to do.

The only problem that I am running into is finding suitable placemats. . . . I think other quilters are getting to the stores before I can!  LOL

So, if you are looking for easy projects you may want to check out her YouTube channel.  Or just search "placemat projects" because I know that there are other videos with other projects out there.

Have a lovely day.

January Baubles

So lovely to see our little workshop a buzz with Christmas Cheer.

I've been stitching these at night and was able to finish putting them together this afternoon.


Just need a little bit of 'bling' next time I'm in town to finish off around the edges.

Happy New Year - Roll Call

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year full of family, fun and fabric.  Trusting that your Christmas was a happy time spent with loved ones and just a little less stressful with all the wonderful gifts and decorations you made throughout 2018.

Time to kick off the new year with a roll call of Elves wishing to play in the "1 Xmas Item A Month Workshop" and make a start on filling your gift box or decorations box ready for a Merry and Stress-less 2019 Christmas.


Please leave a comment on this post only if you wish to join our merry band of elves working their magic.  I will be updating the sidebar list at the end of the month ... then just make a post around the 25th of each month with something you've made or progress on a long term project.

Get ready ... get set ... sew.
