After 43 years of creating quilts as a professional teacher and quilter, some of my quilts have started to show their age through normal use. So, what to do with un-donatable items?
My fun solution has been creating table mats, and this, my latest, a desk mat for my keyboard and mouse to adorn! Minimum quilting is required (I machine or hand quilt horizontally 5 cm apart, and bind, or use a finished size 1.5 cm lazy fold over technique).
For this desk mat I used “Scenic Route Wildflower Garden Dark” fabric for the top, and the back shows some of my earliest longarm quilting forays.
This works brilliantly on the desktop, cushions the keyboard, and provides perfect surface tension for the mouse.
