Placemats
For my sister’s Christmas gift, I made her a set of placemats.
I made six of ‘em but there were only four of us for Christmas dinner so here’s the table at the beginnings of being set. I’d show it to you all set, but then you can’t see the placemats! I have to say, I’m very happy with how these came out.
Why is it so hard to photograph dark brown and have it read true? The placemats are 14″ x 16″ and I did some straight line quilting on them to keep them smooth and modern looking. My sister loves them and they look great in her house!
Hope that you all have a happy and safe New Years Eve!

Stunningly simple. Your work is always sooooooooo good.
I’m sitting here at my computer looking at all my new RSS feeds and click on yours……….. Wow! I love these so much I actually said, out loud and emphatically: “Oooohh! That’s nice!!!” (with feeling). You rock. Great colors, very cool design. (what’s the background? Bone? Sand? Raffia? Love it.

They have a great contemporary appeal, Good idea for some of my friends who don’t quite get my quilting. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful gift!
those look fab! did you sew those onto bamboo?
Thanks Wendy, and nope – it’s all fabric! It’s the quilting that makes it look a bit bamboo-ish.
REALLY gorgeous placemats!!! Simple, yet sleek and modern! I wouldn’t want to put my plate of spaghetti on them – for fear of stains! Your sister = LUCKY!
