New placemat & afternoon snack.
I keep a little box full of fabric strips leftover from other projects. I kept thinking I’d make a strippy quilt, but today made some new placemats out of those strips. I have a big bag full of bias tape that I thrifted recently and used some of that to bind the placemats. I made two placemats today but had to use different colored binding on each one because of what I had on hand.
Sometimes there’s something so satisfying about using up things in my stash pile. Do other crafters feel that way?

Wow, you made me inspired to go dig through my stash. I’ve been wanting to make some placemats. Right now I have some nagging head cold, today sounds like a good day to take it easy and make some placemats.
thanks

That is a great idea, that looks like something I could do.
