I got a recipe from a friend a little while ago and made some rolls....liked them a lot so today I decided...since DH was at the camp....I should make another batch. Well, I did something different or perhaps I was too hasty the last time I made them, but this batch had flufflier and bigger rolls than the last time. Now that is not a bad thing , I know, it's just that I couldn't resist them and ate three...yeah, you read right...three in one sitting and furthermore, I intend to eat three more at dinnertime....oh I am such a baaaaad girl....
Here's what I did this afternoon to keep from eating my supper time rolls for a snack. Made these placemats...been wanting to make them for a while ...I kept looking at the pattern instructions and psyching myself out...curves you know....they always have intimidated me. I can handle them by hand piecing but doing them by machine is always a bit scary. I took my time, eased the fabric and sewed in the direction that was recommended. Voila!!! it worked like a charm. did a little machine quilting and the binding was gently eased on but they still curl just a little bit...maybe they will flatten down as time goes on. Anyway, I like them....only made two...one for DH and one for me....

Great looking buns and obviously delicious. I'm afraid I couldn't eat them since I have found lately that I am gluten intolerant.
Those placemats are lovely. Have you thought of wetting them and then blocking them? Similar to knitting? It could have been the quilting that made them curl.
Those rolls look soooo good Gail.... Are you going to share the recipe with us?? Hmmm???
Love the placemats. Great job!
