Today is the fourth Saturday of September of the colors light blue and light green. It is also the reveal of the Table Scraps Challenge for September. Our prompt this month is Television and /or radio.
The first place mats I worked on where the motorhome place mats. The two for the table were too large so I took off the bindings and cut them down to our local Meals-on-Wheels size. DH wasn't too crazy about the place mats as he thought they 'looked like Christmas'. I can see it...with the flying geese and former red binding. This time, I used brown binding...
I'm counting this as 'green' but doesn't work for the 'television/radio' portion of the challenge.
I went to my trusty source of inspiration, Pinterest. I did find a Lori Holt free tv block but what to put on the screen? I searched my novelties and found an older Hobby Lobby print of cowboys. That's sorta 'Howdy Dowdy' -ish right? So I worked on piecing two place mats. This is where I left off the other day. They are sandwiched and ready for the quilting.
Took a little spin through Baby Brother for just enough quilting to hold the place mats together!
Ta-Da! Light blue background with a older TV... check and check! :)

Those are fun placemats, Pat! The brown binding works well for the camper placemats - hope your hubby likes them better. And the TV blocks are cute - great pattern find!
I just love those cute little TV quilts with the cowboys on the screens. Adorable!!
