RSC15, RSC16, and OPAM

Yes, RSC15 is finally a wrap.  I made a Dresden plate each month, and also embroidered a flower center.  Here is the final result.  In keeping with the scrappy theme, I made a scrappy border as well as a scrappy binding.  I have a tin filled with leftover bindings, and I just started sewing them together!

Continuing with red for September RSC16, I made a doll quilt and two place mats.  I have entirely too many red scraps, and refused to put them all back in the bin.  The place mats are very simple, and I experimented with quilting them.  One is Baptist fans, and one is free motion stars.


The place mats will be going to Meals on Wheels when I get a quantity of them.  And I'm very happy to have found a new outlet for doll quilts.  They're just a fun size to make, and another good way to use scraps.

These are also my OPAM finishes for September.  Already working like crazy on a new project for October.

Be kind, always.........Sunny
