OMG and Table Scraps

At the beginning of the month my nominated OMG for January was to convert slabs of sewn together red scraps  - which is the RSC colour of the month - into bibs as well as making a set or two of red placemats.      Those slabs now look like this.   

                                                  

Over at the Joyful Quilter there is a linky party at the end of each month which is run in conjuntion with the RSC as well as having a nominated theme.   Snowmen were chosen as the theme this month.   I am pleased to say that  snowmen are there and can be seen more clearly in the close up below.   


While bibs are not used for the table they are used at the table.   I think this qualifies.  

And two sets of red placemats were added to the giftie box.  


Wishing all Aussies a happy Australia Day.     I will be doing an Australia Day Zoom session with Chookyblue and many others around lunchtime today.   


   Update on Zoom session.    As always it is a fun time sewing and chatting with the other Zoomers.     Even though the start time was later than usual many US and Canadadians were able to join in.   Fortunately for me I was able to get my Ipad up and running on Zoom this time so I could be just as productive as the others.

Very productive with your red scraps!
Hope you had a good time with the Zoom gals. Just didn't feel up to it with the meds I was taking.

Great job - I think a bib used at the table is a perfect entry! Great use of scraps in red.

Scrappy bibs are one of my favorite things to make! They always turn out unique and pretty and are perfect for messy little eaters. Sometimes I place a simple applique in the center or corner to spice it up! Great work, Karen!
