My sister bought a house on the lake, she is using a nautical theme. here are the place mats I made her.

Love all the shades of blue with the white stitching. Sailboat is so perfectly placed in the corner so it can still be seen if there is a plate on the mat. :)

Beautiful place mats. Love the nautical theme. Would love them for my home as we are on the sea.

The sail boat was a freebie sometime ago I've had it for a while . the rest is crazy patch using freezer paper and decorative stitches from my janome 9000 very old machine but a work horse, its what I do most of my plain sewing on I have a 2 Babylocks for embroidery.

I love these... Is that recycled denim? It all goes together nicely. I love the crazy quilt look with the fancy machine stitches. Nice work! I know your sister will love these.

So beautiful and a novel way of using your pretty stitches from your machine. Your sister will love these, very original. Love Chris

Couldn't be more perfect. I love how the piecing mimics the sails of the boat.

Love these. We live on a lake but so many have water themes I just stick to my same old me. These are so nice and original. That's why I love to make my items and not but from the store. Make the way you like. Not 10,000 others.
