Place Mats Finished


One November task can be crossed off the list. I have now finished the two place mats I had started over a month ago.
I had already done the quilting and today just had to do the binding.
I now know why thimbles were invented. The middle finger on my right hand has a temperature and feels a little bruised after hand stitching the binding into place on the reverse of the mats.
I did get a bit of "help". This is our newest addition to the family, Bella (short for Grizabella from Cats). For her age, she was very well behaved. She just loves chasing the empty cotton reels around the floor.
