It was too hot to Go! outside...

So I made this. A variation of the Patriotic Placemat.

I bought red hand towels (again Walmart, we only have a True Value and a Walmart.

Not a lot of shopping choices without driving 30 minutes.)

This time I used my Go! cutter. I was able to get the Star Die just in time for the 4th of July. I have been proclaiming for a month that I have zero, zilch in the patriotic decor area.

I set out to change that, and it I did!!

In case you are interested, I used light weight heat n bond for this project too.

I used the scraps from the Patriotic Pinwheel runner and ironed them onto the heat n bond. I did this in 6" strips which happen to work pretty well with the Star die.

Here is my first cut.

And the 'waste'. I have been reading reviews that there is waste with the Go! cutter.

Here's what I did with my waste.

Cut them to manageable scraps....

Put them on a star that was the appropriate size and put it through the Go! again.

Voila!

Stars, stars, stars....more than I need.

Like the placemat I sewed the stars with a straight stitch to tack them in place because these will be washed.

I am pleased with the result.

I feel the holiday growing on me, along with my decor!
