Back?

Nope, not the back … this is the front of my latest project: making placemats with scraps of thrifted linen clothing along with a few choice bits of hand-dyed cloth. It’s also giving me a chance to try my hand at half-square triangles, which have confounded me in the past.



And now that I’ve conceded to Google’s every demand, I can finally insert photos again. So maybe I am indeed “back” … we’ll see.

  3. Any plate of food you put on this place mat, even leftover scraps (pun intended) is bound to be so delicious because the colors are so appetizing! Marti.

  6. Liz~ Yay!!! I'm glad to see you here. Your placemat reminded me of Jude's drawing in her recent post - the bright colors and angles. Half-square triangles are such a simple idea, yet, I've never done it successfully. Yours look fine :). -Nancy

  12. It is a delight to see your blog pop up in my emails and these placements would surely make any meal better and brighter. I like the half triangles and the feel of whimsy they bring to them; and the colours are all fellow travellers of warmth and wear. Take care and go well, F
