My quilt-in-progress, the collection of 1970’s pillowcases, and 6.5 inch squares is growing.
If you like quilts and don’t yet know about the eye-candy that is r/quilting, get thee to reddit.com.
In all their glory, behold the Placemats of Awesome! (Tutorial here.)

Thank you for your podcast. I so enjoy your thoughtfulness and the quality of your work. I enjoyed this episode so much I listened to it twice. I look forward to seeing your quilt come together.
Brenda, so much to say. I’ve listened to every episode of “Cast On,” many more than once. Your return – whoopee! The evidence below, which refutes the dickhead comment: 1) Your voice is ideal for podcasts, low-ish and intimate. 2) You are smart. 3)
You are funny. 3) You are articulate and enunciate well. 4) You do interesting stuff, knitting & all. I could go on. Many thanks from a former public broadcaster who appreciates production values and copyright scruples.
I’m so glad you’re back. The placemats are wonderful, but I have a question: did you use some sort of template for the leaf shape? As I listened, I could see how it would be relatively easy to outline an actual leaf, but now I see you repeated that motif in non-leaf areas–how so? (I have a sewing machine that’s over 70 yrs old, it goes forward and backward like a champ, but no fancy bells & whistles.) thanks!
