To-Do #1
I decided to make some sunflower placemats and table runner for my friend, Amanda, as a belated housewarming gift. The blocks on the main design board in front are all for Amanda with the top two rows being made into placemats and the bottom row into a table runner. On the right (the 4th column) are blocks that will be made into placemats that I will be keeping. Notice how the color placement looks on the block in the lower right corner. The dark fabric placement looks so different when it isn’t centered. I think I’m done making sunflower blocks for now!!!
To-Do #2
I really love how the rainbow Sashiko thread looks on this navy blue square. It’s a little wonky to be made into a coaster. I’m thinking now that I might sew this square (and others you will see in coming weeks) into a table runner.
To-Do #3
I did decide on my November One Monthly Goal and wrote about it in this Post.
To-Do for the week of Nov 3rd-Nov 9th:
- Stitch another modern Sashiko coaster.
- Start sewing the triangles together for my Solstice table topper.
- Start binding my Turquoise Christmas Tree Panel quilt.

The sunflower blocks look happy all lined up on your design wall – so bright and cheery. Love the rainbow sashiko thread! You’ve had a good week once again!

Hi Mary! WOW – that color placement makes a HUGE difference. Huh. Agreed on the rainbow threads on the navy blue – it is sharp. A few of those would be a stunning table runner with a modern vibe. Love it! Three checkmarks this week and I suspect three more for next week. Thanks for linking up today and good luck. ~smile~ Roseanne
