I can't believe we are nearing the end of June already!
Time to share the placemats I finished this month.
Unfortunately this month was mostly spent finishing up the green placemats I pulled all the scraps for in May. Here are eight more ready for the "Done" pile.
I also finished up two more that were made from orphan blocks or spare parts that have been hanging around for eons. It feels good to finally put these to good use.
I did finish one lone blue placemat. I have a bunch more in the works but so far this is the only one that has made it past the "binding" stage.
I now have 110 placemats finished. They will be donated to Meals on Wheels to be given out during one of the holiday meals. Right now the stack is higher than my knee!
(Because I am always asked, I trim my placemats to 11 x 15".)
Everyone stay cool this weekend!

Your placements are wonderful.
You are WONDERFUL for donating them to meals on wheels.
Thank you!
Love the placemats!
What a nice surprise in someone's holiday meal! You are a gem for doing this!
Oh how wonderful! That is an amazing accomplishment! I try to make one placemat a month and have fallen behind!
What a wonderful pile of placemats--MOW people will be so thrilled I amsure.
Nice work hugs, Julierose
I love watching that stack grow!!
and I love the way you use the scraps to make these gorgeous works of art!
110 placemats and higher than your knee, that's so fantastic. I bet they weigh a surprising amount, too!
Such a great idea.
Oh! My! Sizzling bacon! That's quite a stack of placemats. Congrats on getting May's placemats finished. I'm halfway through the June one. ;^)
Love all the scrappy placemats.
Is that 110 pieces of scrap batting used up, too, Cynthia? I'm guessing you layer them on ends of your donation quilts. Personally, I could probably round up that many (or more) batting scraps!
Wonderful use of scraps and what a great way to brighten up someone's day.
Your placemats are always so fun to see! They're turning into quite a pile - you're going to need a big truck to haul them in!
It must be so satisfying to see that pile of lovely placemats grow! What a great cause and how generous you are to donate! Love all the different quilting you did too.
Such a pretty pile of placemats! Wonderful that they'll be going to meals on wheels. They will brighten so many people's days!
