Books featured this month are Cider Mill Road from Art to Heart and Fresh Vintage Sewing. Here are our July projects; Apple Placemats, Stuffed Apples that can be used for decoration in a kitchen (or a pincushion) and a sweet little stuffed Eggplant pincushion.
Hello Darlene! Yes, of course I can help you with that! The place mats are as follows:
1/2 yd each of # 2019 (Red plaid) & # 2016 (Golden Circles & Fronds) for the apple & swirl
FQ yard or scraps green fabric for the leaf ~ # 2010 (Falling Leaves-Dk Green)
FQ yard or scraps brown fabric for the stem ~ # 2008 (Dandelion Seeds-Lt Brown)
The apples are:
Leftovers from above plus;
1 FQ each of # 2006 (Dandelion Seeds-Lt Green), # 2024 (Wind & Leaves-Dk Golden) and # 2021 (Acorns & Leaves-Red)
Thanks for asking Darlene ~ others were probably wanting this info as well!
When I made the eggplant pincushion, I also cut out two carrots and a pattipan squash. I'm not happy with the squash, but I love the carrots! I especially love Laraine's clever use of them as a ?headdress?!
Laraine you should have had an orange shirt on so you could keep up the fashion statement Mari is starting!
Karen I love your veggies. At least they won't rot if you forget to take them in the house and out of the plastic bag when it's hot out![ yep I forgot my baby cuke's I bought for pickles!]
Diane, I wasn't notified ahead of time. The embarassment was totally spur of the moment LOL We were all goofing around with them but Karen MADE me pose for a picture.
I love how someone else always MAKES one of you do something! Sounds like you work with a wonderful, fun but maybe a little crazy group of ladies. You all give the rest of us our daily entertainment. So thank you!!!!!!!
