I've posted photos of the advent calendars I mentioned on here before Christmas:

The pattern is by Liz Aneloski, I saw it on Simply Quilts and got the pattern from the HGTV website. There was some instructions missing, but Liz faxed them to me - how great! I was so thrilled with the instructions, the idea, the way the fabrics played in her sample etc that I have bought the book (on its way to me, according to the dealer).



I have also posted pictures of two of the six place mats I made my parents for Christmas:

They are all made of Kaffe Fassett designed fabric from Rowan. I love the colours and the stripes, I adore the feel, but they weren't that easy to work with - some corners were pretty out of whack. But the colours make up for it, to my eye :-)



The pattern is based on one from on of Kaffe Fassett's books, but I did re-draft to get the size and method I wanted.



I decided that things like this need not have a "real" label, but still needed my name, so I had name tapes made up.

Love the advent calendars but I particularly love the Kaffe Fasset place settings. Fantastic use of that fabric.

I love your work Hanne. Such perfect points too!

I adore the placemats! the colors and design are just perfect!

Love the calendars, what a good idea! and so simple! The placemats are absolutely luscious. Roberta in D

Really nice! Did you use any kind of low-loft batting in them?

Hanne: Those place mats are absolutely fantastic. Between those and the calendars, you've really been on a stripe kick! Have you started the baby suduko quilt yet? I'm almost finished my UFO ... doing the binding now. Yippee!

PAT in VA/USA PS: Folks, I saw the two calendars when Hanne was here about 6 weeks ago. The workmanship and style were just lovely.

Warm and Natural, which is all I have :-)

Works very well for placemats, IMO.

Yes, I did start the sudoku quilt, I've got the top nearly done (only need the "large" sashing, vertical and the borders). But then work happened...

Incidentally, the girl was 4 weeks early, so the quilt was late before I started!!! She was doing great though, and was home well inside 2 weeks.

They look great. Thanks for sharing them with us!!

Hanne, those are wonderful! My favorite is the first one -- I love the way you used the stripes. :)

I have to say that I don't love most of Kaffe Fassett's fabrics, but I do love the way you put them together in these placemats. :) Again, the play of the stripes is just wonderful. :)
