Belive it or not -I started these a year ago, and finished them this afternoon. These belong to my older daughter. Thank goodness she has been patient. I tried to make too many at one time last Easter, and got burned out on them. I had 7 panels to do today, plus putting them together. But, at least one more item off of my sewing table. LOL These are reversible and done in the hoop.

dlonna they are beautiful *

fantastic work, very nice fabrics ***

Lovely choice of fabric and color.

It looks real spring-y, I love your colours.

And I love that white runner!

TY - I did not make the table runner but have had it for several years.

Very nice, love the colours.*4u

For those of you that are interested - The pattern comes from Chantell's Creations - You can get the set for 5x7. My center was done on the 240x150 and the balance done in the 5x7. I did learn a trick - since this calls for batting sandwiched between the fabrics - I started using felt - less expensive, and I found that it does not cause as much dust for the machine. Too, I use WSS as the stabilizer. That way I can clean the edges some if it needs it without washing it out. And to save the WSS I use my scrap bobbin threads and stitch my scraps of WSS together to make another blank. It would work with this, but not your FSL projects. However, if you have wash away thread you could do that for your FSL too. I have not tried that, but I sure have a mess of WSS scrap to do something with.

Beautiful work! What a lucky daughter you have!

Well - that set took me a year. LOL If you are dedicated you could probably get a set of 4 done in a couple days. I did 7 panels and put them together in an afternoon. I had some of it all ready done previously. Each placemat takes 7 panels.

thanks for the reply. LOL, could possible take me that long too :)

It is very lovely. I just love the way you reversed the colors for the back.

Beth, these are lovely and I am sure that Wyndi will adore them and be grateful that you took your time to finish them up right. Stunning work.
