Ah, Brigadoon!

Taken August 21st on the Nelson Monument in Edinburgh:





The project I'm working on is a set of placemats made to fit my uniquely-shaped IKEA Fusion table. I finished the first one a couple of weeks ago, and it looks super sharp! Here's an IKEA photo of the table so you have an idea of the challenge facing anyone hoping to cover the darn thing:



You can't use a tablecloth because it would ruin the minimal lines and get tangled up in the intimately-proportioned leg space. I'm making four eye-shaped placemats that will fit the rounded corners.

The Official Ultimate Quilting League Mascot, Sweet Sparkle, was also there to enjoy the view from Calton Hill.

You can almost see the heather on the hill. Sweet Sparkle says, "If it's not Scottish, its CRAP!"
