hello Monday!
about a week ago…I had a client request a purple placemat…
and at first I wasn’t sure I had much purple…
but I was wrong!
so we decided on these prints…
does the designer look familiar??
I wanted to experiment with something a bit different…
I started with 2.5 inch strips…
I also wanted to add some half square triangles…
I really like where this is headed…
check back on Friday for the finish…
and here is the fabric scrap giveaway for the week…
spy something fun??
leave a comment to enter…
I will draw a winner on Friday…
Happy Sewing!
Like you I always think I don’t have much purple, but then I’m surprised by what I find! The snippet in the scrap pile with the candy canes and houses looks interesting!
Anxious to see your finished placemat, looks great so far. I love purple and I don’t have a lot of purple, I did pick up a fat quarter bundle for a quilt(someday). I see some fun scraps that would play nicely at my house, LOL
My daughter loves purple. I recently made a scrap block star quilt for her in purple, and wow did it take a lot of pieces!!
I spy a car with a wreath…great color combos.
I spy lots of purple scraps! I’m a purple girl…light purple bedroom, purple floral master bath, with a mug that says I LOVE PURPLE!
Since my granddaughter likes purple, I’ve started to collect all shades of purple to make a quilt for her next birthday.
I love working with purples. I love giving to my daughter and niece
I think it is interesting as we go through our fabric which colours there are in abundance. I have lots of blues, greens, and aquas, and I am also fond of warmer oranges and reds. I don’t seem to have much yellow or purple. What I really need to invest in is more low volume fabric too. Thanks for a fun giveaway. x
Love all the dots!
I like how the half square triangles add a punch to the design. Nice fabrics in giveaway, great prints and colors.
I also don’t have a lot of purple in my fabric stash. I see some aqua in your fabric scraps.
I find purple a difficult colour – but perhaps I could make an exception for AG!!
What wonderful eye candy! I love Carrie Bloomston and Alison Glass fabric. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Love those aquas…my new fav color!
I always spy sweet goodies on your blog 🙂
I see some cute little houses but ANYTHING with Carrie’s name on it I love.
Everything looks great in your scrap pile!!!
That purple placemat will be perfectly pretty! Can’t wait to see it finished. I love scrap piles. I’m still looking for pieces to add to my 1.5 inch postage stamp quilt. kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com

Thanks for chance to win! 🙂
Love the gingerbread house fabric !
Look forward to seeing the completed project. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
