Last weekend a friend came over to play with my Juki.
We each made a "placemat with benefits" for our Singer Featherweights
from my Kaffe scraps.
Here's mine, with a few other bits thrown in.
I dug through the binding bag for leftover purples to finish this.
I quilted the back using the prints on top as inspiration.
When I was learning to fmq, I made several of these mats as practice.
Here it is underneath my FW 222K.
In preparation for T's visit, I cleaned up my sewing room
and found a bunch of nearly finished needle books underneath the clutter.
So I finished them, and made the four on the bottom
from bits and pieces.
See the Kaffe pencils on the bottom row?
This is the inside of one -- pockets for thimbles or thread
and several pages of wool for pins and needles.
I'm giving away two of these to celebrate seven years of blogging.

Congrats on 7 years. Wow there must have been lots of quilts pass through here. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration.
Hugs
Hooray for 7 years of blog posts! Thank you for sharing with us. I'd love to win one of the needle holders. Like the idea of the placemat with pockets, too.
7 years, wow! Congrats! Needle books are adorable! qltdiva1@fuse.net
First off - love your "placemats with benefits" hope you don't mind if I copy this idea for mats for my machines.
Secondly, thanks so much for mentioning April at april930s.com re Featherweights. I have a 222K and the old rubber covering around the wiring has totally perished so I can now get in touch and see if they can help!!
Congrats on seven years of blogging, Brenda! Love your quilting on that placemat. Those needle cases are adorable! Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
As the recipient of one of your needle books, I can say they are WONDERFUL!!
Congrats on seven years . . .
Congrats on 7 years. I have been thinking of making a needle book. Thanks for the opportunity, Darlene
7 years! I would love a needle case, maybe they wouldn't be on the floor then...
