Pat, our fearless leader, challenged us to come up with 'something' made out of the piece of material. It was bright and cheerful covered with gaily colored flowers. Oh geez, what to make. As I was going through a difficult time I stowed the fat quarter in a drawer and did not see it for months and months. Finally I dragged it out, no idea what I would do with it and feeling so 'designless'.
At our Christmas party those of us who had not already shared their 'Great Show and Tell' got to share ours. I am very 'design' challenged so what some of these girls came up with delighted me!! Oh to have that frame of mind where you can envision great works of art out of that sort of 'ugly' fabric. I have to hand it to them. Just look at what they did....
And, then I showed them my fabulous creation..........a placemat. Oh well, maybe next time I will set those brain cells to working and come up with something spectacular!!
Hi Lantane, I think your placemat is beautiful. Who would not want to get up in the morning and have that at the breakfast table!!! It would be the start to a beautiful day!

Your placemat is great ..... whenever you use it, you will remember lovely times with your friends!
ReplyDeleteAll the ideas are great, and I liked your placemat just as much as the rest!
ReplyDeleteSeems like more and more I have those brain freeze moments...especially when I need to be on the ball.
