REDnesday and Whatcha Working on Wednesday!-The Reveal!!

Doing a double post again.

Lots of RED so it is easy to do that.

REDnesday for us.

And also thank you to Leslie of My Country Home for hosting

Whatcha Working on Wednesday!

This is fun.

First up is the lastest on my cross stitch project

for the Stitch Along Blog I belong to.

The highlighting on the apples are really

making the apples come to life.

Remember my teaser?

Now you get to find out what I made and why.

I made somewhat of a mention of why on my main blog.

My donation to a Silent Auction at our church on Sunday.

This is why I was scrambling to get this project done.

Guesses?

Tablerunner, banner, placemat, and quilt.

So which is correct.

It is one of these choices.

Neabear, your project turned out great! Even though

you got owies in the process.

Thank you Helmi for giving me your seal of approval!

This might give you an idea!

Napkins here!

I have to admit I am proud of my mitered corners.
Well....most of them.
Some did not quite turn out this perfect.

Voila a placemat.
Placemat is the correct answer.
A set of four along with four napkins to match.

See how the napkin is made out of one of the little
square fabrics.
I ended up not using the lighter blue and red squares I was making.
Too light for this combination.
I will save them for another project.
Maybe more placemats.
For me.
Since I did not get to keep this set I just made.
One of my Sister-in-laws( I have 6 sister-in-laws) won the bid
and now she wants more.
If I can find more of the same fabric perhaps.

I can see this pattern in Christmas fabrics too!
I did get lots of oohs and aahs over this project
once I got it to church.

Oh, you know how last minute I finished this set?
At the auction. I was still handstitching the binding down
on 2 of the placemats.
But I am glad to I got them done!!
Happy REDnesday and Whatch Working on Wednesday!
