Rhoda, I didn't see your original post, but I'd just love to see photos
of these lovely placemats. :)

I'd love to see the placemats Rhoda - things like this are great as
Christmas gifts. I've made a couple of potholders for my sister and a
friend for Christmas so far - just a little extra goodie to stuff in
with their present, and it's a great way to use up scraps. My sister
gave me a big hint about getting some this year again. :-)

It sure wasn't disinterest, Rhoda. For my part, I'm trying to pretend I
have all the time in the world before Christmas. So I am ignoring anything
to do with it.

I can't wait to see the too. They sound lovely and you are way ahead
of me in getting Christmas gifts done. Please post some photos when
you can. Donna

Hi Rhoda,
Sorry to say your first message has not appeared on my computer, there may
be a problem with the gateway.
I do miss a few messages on this ng as well as others I am signed in to.
It's a pain in the bum when it happens.
I too have started Christmas gift making - coincidently place mats and bibs.
The placemats for my daughters and the bibs for my great nephew. I always
make each member of the family something for Christmas every year.
I don't have to make anywhere near 33 but still enjoy making the gifts.
Congratulations on the new Great Granddaughter - it will be a special
Christmas this year.
Cheers,
--
Di
I'm creative! You can't expect me to be neat too.
