This is the set of five utility mats for August.
One for the cedar chest (16" x 38")
Two for the fireplace hearth (each 13" x 18")
Two for the end tables (16" x 16" each)
I bought this fabric in April 2015
when I stopped at Hancock's of Paducah
after delivering my book manuscript
and all of the book quilts to AQS.
(while originally intended to be a quilt back,
after this length of time I decided it was
more important to USE the fabric instead of
continuing to wait for the "perfect" quilt top)
From the Cinco de Mayo line
designed by Greta Lynn for Kanvas.
Quilted with Glide thread in Dijon
using rows of liberated fans.
Bound with Moda's Bella cheddar solid.
July's red-white-blue has been put away
and August's back-to-school has been put out.
(schools here start August 9th)

And last but certainly not least . . .
HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY to our
