Mod Stack Placemats



Mod Stack Placemats

Pattern by Faith Jones of Fredh Lemons Quilts for Art Gallery Fabrics
Size:  12" x 18" (trimmed from 12.5" x 18.5" after quilting to fit the Meals on Wheels requirements locally)

This is a project for the Nanaimo Quilters' Guild.  They collect placemats & donate them to Meals on Wheels.  The Guild provided the batting - an Ultra Thin Poly.  It was lovely to use.

I used five assorted fat quarters for the centres and a brown Moda Grunge Basicgrey by Moda, Pattern #30150 for the background & binding.  The five fat quarters was enough for six placemats with some smaller scraps for another project.


It's a little hard to see in the photos but I quilted the placemats with horizontal lines approximately 0.5" apart.


One of the requests from the placemat committee is that we use an interesting fabric on the back so I chose this print from Shamah & Sons, Patt#5015M.


I have three finished & three waiting for more batting when Guild starts back up in September.

Happy Quilting!

Corn on the Cob Placemats (for Meals on Wheels)


Corn on the Cob Placemats (for Meals on Wheels)

Size:  12" x 18" 

Binding:  Back-to-front binding cut 1/2" wider than front

Batting:  Ultra Thin Poly (supplied by Nanaimo Quilters' Guild)

This summer is passing by so quickly.  I decided I should get my commitment sewing done before it's over and I have an overwhelming amount to do all at once.  I brought home some placemat batting from the Nanaimo Quilters' Guild to use in placemats for Meals on Wheels.  I started with these two which I designed.


Happy Quilting!
