Colonial Era

 This week's Project Quilting theme is "Era".  I knew I wanted to make some flag placemats for the big 4th of July celebration this year, so that is what I did.

 I realized as I was doing this that it is nearly impossible to arrange 13 stars in a circle and have the points be orderly.  I'm sure Betsy Ross had the thought that 12 stars would of been easier.

The Year of the Horse

 This week's Project Quilting theme is the Chinese New Year and it is the year of the Horse.  I made another  charity quilt.

I first thought to do a silhouette of a horse in fabric.  My problem with that is this is a quilt that could get washed every week and fused applique doesn't always hold up to washing.  My solution was to do outlines of horses in thread based on a petroglyph.

Thanks for looking,
