Hi Everyone, I have been a bit slow in posting my creations from our challenge of 2 months ago. Ros gave each of us some fabric and challenged us to use all of it!!! I made 6 of the placemats pictured plus a couple of other things. The design on the placemats is from EmbLibrary. Cheers Claire

15907It is too pretty to put anything on it Nice job, It is difficult to use all the material. If you are a quilter there is a pattern called Day and Night it is amazing and uses all the scraps to make smaller runners. I made one long one over 60 inches and two smaller from the scraps.

Hi Edith, Try searching using Ikebana - it was the first result returned for me using this method. Cheers Claire

Thank you - the lines on the fabric weren't straight so I decided I needed to do a shape that hid that fact. Cheers Claire

Thank you - but they have been used many times, I can't see the point in having nice things and not using them!!! Cheers Claire
