I am a little late in this post, so here goes!
I have been working on old UFO applique projects. See my previous post Holiday Lights for more background information.
This placemat lacks the candle wick before it is ready for a border
This is the finished placemat waiting for a border
I am still working on the Table Runner! It is not a difficult pattern, well written, and fun to applique!
I am now working on preparing blocks for Celebrating Mary Brown. There is a great group of ladies who will be participating.
Have a great week!

The placemats and table runner are really sweet. Are you going to use them or making for gift giving? Sharon

I am thinking that the placemats and table runner are mine. I started them in 2013 and ended up doing another set for some friends. Mine just sat and sat! So hopefully by this week-end they will be ready for borders and quilting! MACHINE QUILTING – DOMESTIC!

Oh Jayne – these were started in 2013 – I THINK. So if I get them finished this month that will be a miracle! LOL. I did get a Xmas quilt done earlier in the year and one done about 15 years ago that needs to be quilted…. See I am also slow! Hugs

Your candle project is lovely! That gives me an idea for an Advent themed table runner… Not that I will get around to making it in time for THIS Advent! So, what does HQAL stand for? I’m guessing quilt a-long but the H has me stumped!
