June One Monthly Goal

Hi Quilting Friends,

My “One Monthly Goal” for June was to quilt the Christmas place mats that I finished piecing in May.

I spent a lovely Friday afternoon with Susan and Rosie (the Gammill quilting machine), for another quilting lesson. I chose a pretty holly and ribbon design, quilted with cream-colored thread. We had a few hiccups along the way, but Rosie came through like a champ in the end.

Lesson learned: When Rosie says that she needs a software update, it is best to take a break and let her take care of business. If you don’t, you will live to regret your choices.

Ta-Done! And the binding is finished as well. I chose a pretty green holly print with gold accents, also from my extensive private textile collection. Close-up image so you can see the quilting & binding-

Here’s a picture of the Ornaments place mat set-

In case you’re interested, the place mat patterns are available in Ms P’s Pattern Shop!

Happy quilting,

Sharon
