Chenille Floor Mat

Have you ever purchased the items

necessary to make something

and then put it off 

FOREVER,

thinking it's going to be too difficult or take a long time?

Two years ago or so I was in a quilt shop and saw

this great chenille floor mat.

I asked the owner how to make it

and purchased what was needed to make one.

I was going to make one for my sister.

Well....

I'd plan to make it, but wouldn't because I was

afraid it would take too long

or be too difficult

or not turn out the way it should.

Yesterday I finally decided

"Today is the day."

I pulled out the fabric and cut the four layers plus the canvas for the bottom.

A piece of batting was cut and the 

stitching lines were drawn on back of the canvas.

The stitching began.

This went together so quickly!

 

And turned out great.

I haven't washed it yet, but will before I give it to my sister.

(Act surprised, Deeda!)

 

Here I was almost dreading making this floor mat,

put it off for two years

and it took all of 

Three Hours!!

Happy Quilting!
