Cathedral Windows, continued

I got a little more done on the Cathedral Windows today; the pillow top is about one-third complete.

Cathedral Windows

This is the beginning of a Cathedral Windows pillow I am making for my mother-in-law, Norma, whose 75^th birthday is March 9. 

Looks sort of funny, at this point... but I like to watch Cathedral Windows go together.  And there are so many different ways to make them!

Brook Trout Mug Rug

Here is the third fish mug rug -- an appliquéd Brook Trout.  This will be the last mug rug, unless I finish all the Christmas things I need to do before Christmas.

Rainbow Trout Mug Rug

Second of three fish mug rugs -- the Rainbow Trout mug rug, made to go with another Normal Rockwell mug.

Greenback Cutthroat Trout Mug Rug

This is the first of three fish mug rugs I plan to make for three of our grandsons.  It's supposed to be colored like a Greenback Cutthroat Trout, but seems to me it turned into more of a Clown Trout.  The mugs are Norman Rockwell designs.

The picture card on the fishing frog is a shot of Larry hauling in a big fish.

Larry laughed at the mug rug.  Good thing it's for one of the grandsons, rather than Gadabout Gaddis, I guess!

Bald Eagle Placemat

This Bald Eagle placemat and mug is for my brother-in-law  John H. for Christmas.  I have ordered a figurine and big picture book of bald eagles to go with it.

Here are the figurines I ordered from Amazon (one will be for my brother, Loren):

And this is the book:

Dairy Cow Placemat

Tonight I finished a placemat (below); it will be for Jacob for Christmas.  I just ordered a bowl to go with it --

and some Hershey's lip balm --

and I will add some Hershey's Hot Chocolate to the set, too:

For the final pieces to the set, I have ordered the Schleich bull, cow, and calf:

Schleich toy figurines are made of a soft vinyl plastic, and hand-painted.

Here is the placemat:

It measures 10 1/2" x 14".
