I am submitting this in Ellison Lane Quilts’ Summer Sewing Contest!
I just finished these placemats! I have been looking for new placemats for a long time now. It’s either I can’t find the right color/pattern or they are too expensive. I found this pattern in “Quilt Almanac 2012” and I knew these were the placemats for me! It’s such a fun project – you only need small pieces of fabric for each petal so it’s a great “stash” project. It is also perfect to use up all those small pieces of batting I save!!
I love that the placemats are more like fabric chargers and really set off the dishes. Yes – I really like polka-dots!! And I think I am a colorful person 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Want to join me for lunch? The table is all set 🙂
Love them. I love that you can carve time out for these cute projects! Today I made it down to the “dungeon of dispair” aka the sewing room and managed to sew buttons on 2 pairs of pants, hem a pair of pants and fix an elastic waistband…those are not FUN projects. I want to do the fun stuff. Love it!
How sweet are those!!!!! I’m in love with the dinner table…I love polka dots, too!
I love your plates – I have some plastic ones from target a few years back and wish I bought twice as many!
So cheerful! What a happy table you set!
How can I get that pattern and directions?
