Christmas Mat


Although I'm still working on sewing my strips together for my scrap quilt, I decided to start sewing a 
Christmas table mat. I've already made one and would like to make a few more so I can gift them on the holiday. So, in between sewing my scrap strips together, I'm also working on this mat. It makes my sewing a little more interesting. I'll keep posting until it starts to look like a mat!


I thought I'd share the flowers my daughter got for her birthday. This is a mix of red and orange roses. I'm not sure I've ever seen orange roses before but they are gorgeous! Her boyfriend is very thoughtful!
