Table Scraps Challenge - light & dark brown

Allô and welcome 😎 to my short and sweet post for the October Table Scraps Challenge 2024. Today is the deadline for posting - so here it is! Almost everyone in my family had a scrappy placemat made during a Table Scraps Challenge except my son. Since he wanted a neutral placemat, he had to wait until now😁 

Light and Dark Brown Scrappy Placemat


I'm happy to present my last scrappy placemat for a family member... and it even had a cat😺, which was the October theme.

Since I had many brown scraps, I made the placemat double-sided. The top side was quilted with bright  variegated King Tut thread while the bobbin thread had variegated brown and yellow thread. I finished the placemat using the pillowcase method. It worked beautifully.

I've been making scrappy family placemats since 2023. Finally I have all 5 done!

Here's the latest happening in my back yard.

Squirrel!

I haven't been doing any eco-printing but nature does it's own thing - I just wish that I could use it!

What I learned
  • I'm glad that I've finished my last family scrappy placemat. The table sure will look good with all of these wonderful placemats!
  • I've been wondering if I could use the pillowcase method for finishing a placemat. Well, I now know that I can. It was so easy and since they don't get used that much, I'm sure that a lack of binding won't make a difference.
  • I just had to FMQ the cat - I don't think my son cares about cats but it was the theme, so it's on!
