I finished all of my sewing for Christmas, yipee! First, I finished 10 placemats, using Pioneer Woman fabrics for my daughter-in-law. I curved the corners and made bias binding for the first time.

I had 2 different patterns for fabric chalkboards. I didn't really like either pattern, so I took the parts I liked and made some jumbo fabric chalkboards. I made 5 chalkboards, but 3 of these are for my grandkids.

Since I got these things finished early, it gave me time to make some fabric books for my grandkids. I don't use batting for these, instead I use fusible interfacing.

We've been watching Christmas movies several evenings. I've been working on the Angels Among Us block. I finished the July block and have started on the August block.
