Okay, I have been sewing

Just haven't been taking many pictures apparently. LOL.

This past weekend I managed to buy kits for THREE more sets of placemats (yup 12 placemats total).  I got all the tops done... got two of the sets partially basted (as you can see in the picture... I do have backing fabric for both the basted sets, just didn't get that far).
But I don't have any pictures of the third set.  Yet.

Anyways.
Snowman and wine placemats.  :)  These the tops are basted (and cut out now), but not basted with the backs yet.  I'll get there.  Maybe this evening.
 
These are the finished TOPS for October's placemats... from the years kits I've been getting everymonth.
 
Working on Septembers now...  and yes, only the tops (I ran out of batting, so have to find batting for the 3rd set of placemats I bought this past weekend,... as well as the rest of these yearly kits... but I'm getting there!!  At least I'm getting some of the kits off my dining room table with this progress!!!  And my son should be able to use them for the right holidays/seasons next year - even if I am behind this year!
