I did manage to finish a couple small projects, the first for my daughter's birthday last week.
The second is yet another in the "pieced from Lois's scraps" series. Last year she made a Christmas quilt from a kit of Moda's Gingiber fabrics. She must have downsized her version a bit as there were all these lovely fabric squares and strips in the box that showed up at one of our meetings last summer. When nobody snapped it up, I snagged it and made this cute set of placemats.
Easy-peasy piecing and a bit of simple FMQ, add binding and done! And yes, we're keeping these for ourselves - Merry Christmas to us! They reverse to this sweet wintery print I've had in my stash for several years.
OK, off now to raid a couple scrap bins and see if another set of potholders and an oven mitt can be finished by tomorrow evening. But not before wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year! I'll be back in a few days with a December mini finish.

Such cute projects! I think I must make some potholders sometime---but not this year. I am off back to the kitchen, making the lasagna ahead, to reheat tomorrow! The spiced nuts are so delish! Thank you!

I love your new place mats! and the birds on the back will carry it thru winter. I finished my last project and got it off with a photo, so today is baking. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I love those placemats, and I really like the backing fabric. Very cute. Cooking for me today. We do our celebration on Christmas Eve. Have a Merry Christmas at your end. Stay warm.
Very cute projects! Love the backing fabric, my lqs carries many fabrics that depict birds and I love to buy them! Such pretty prints. I made a pot holder with one of the cardinal ones this year. Merry Christmas! Jan from MA

What a wonderful find in that give away box! And love the chick-a-dee backing fabric too! Yes, sometimes we need to remember to make ourselves presents too. Nice job!
