Ok, first a confession, the picture below is not the project that I completed for this month. But, it is what I completed.
Let me explain. I made another placemat storage bin but I could not find my camera (I think it may be at work). And blog posts without pictures are not all that interesting.
So, I found a picture of the first placemat storage bin that I did and am substituting it until I can find my camera and correct the picture.
These bins are so very easy to do. I watched the YouTube video from Lorrie Nunemaker.
In fact, she has an entire series of videos about using placemats to make bins, zippered pouches and other things.
I have made several other items from her videos and may be making more of them as Christmas gifts because they are so easy and fun to do.
The only problem that I am running into is finding suitable placemats. . . . I think other quilters are getting to the stores before I can! LOL
So, if you are looking for easy projects you may want to check out her YouTube channel. Or just search "placemat projects" because I know that there are other videos with other projects out there.
Have a lovely day.
