A friend asked me to do a set of placemats for her.  She picked out the fabrics and asked me to make them reversible.  She also requested the "diamond" quilting.  To her that looked like what she felt quilting should be.  So, here is the results.  Since the fabric had gold designs throughout, I used gold embroidery thread for the quilting.   She LOVED it and so did I.   What do you think?  One side is the red pointsettias, the other side is the holly & berries.

I've finished up Tablerunners and Pillow Cases.  Still working on embroidered towels.
I've actually bought a new embroidery/sewing machine and haven't unpacked it yet.  I want to finish the projects in the works right now before I get side-tracked with something else.   I will do my best to post again before the holiday, but just in case, let me say it now:   MERRY CHRISTMAS!
