A Bear of a Sewing Project

I've got a big Scouting event that I've been preparing for diligently for nearly 8-9 months.  One of the things I need to do is come up with 10-12 placemats for my Bear Patrol.  You know me.  Why do something simple when I can do something complicated?  I proudly present to you my Bear Patrol quilted placemats.

The best part is that this placemat is two-fold.  I'm supposed to have placemats and also some sort of bear related gift to give the participants. Voila!  This will serve both purposes!

These took longer than I anticipated, and actually turned out better than I hoped.  Don't look too closely.  They won't win any blue ribbons at the Iowa State Fair... but I think they'll be a big hit at the Wood Badge course.  Don't you wish you were part of my Bear Patrol?

Jennifer,
You should be so proud...they look great. You are sewing as much as me...I have 70 football team towels to finish by Sunday. I have about 35 more to go!

I DO wish I were part of your bear patrol...perhaps it would get me out of town for a while:) You did a fine job on the placemats. Meanwhile, I'm taking a page from your book and trying to finish up a few projects around here. Wish me luck!
