A Gift for a Friend

My bestest sewing mate moved into a new house "The Cottage" last weekend.  Its been a long drawn out process (the story of which doesn't belong here) but she's in and settled.
I couldn't let the event pass with out some sort of commemoration so I made her this:







Its a Natalie Bird design that was published Country Threads Volume 8 #6 (with a few changes made by me!).

    Hi Chick.... thanks for the tips on binding small objects like my placemats!
    I get how you mean and I am certainly going to try it with my next lot!
    Sadly, I have already gone way past the point of doing that method with the placemats I'm working on right now.
    I'm on to hand sewing the back side of the binding... ikkk... but at least it's the home straight!
