Hi Cuties, I’ve finished 12 of the placemats so far. I’ve done 2 of the first 6 designs. I don’t particularly like this week’s one so will give it a miss.

I sewed a lovely Christmas fabric for the back that I extended by an inch and a half and used as the binding. These were all made in my biggest hoop and have finished up about 12 and 1/2 by 8 1/2. Love Chris

These look very festive Chris. The latest design photo arrived in my email and I wondered if you would be getting it. Now I know you wont.

Hi Caroline, no when I saw it, I thought it a bit too, how do I say it, not up to par! I'll wait to see what the next 5 are like. Love Chris

Thanks Kim, yes, me too. Unfortunately there is none left for the next 5, so I will have to use some other fabric. Love Chris

These 12 make a very pretty picture. I know your table will be lovely. It's a lot of hours of stitching and a lot of fabric and thread, but the end result is so very bright and cheerful.

Thanks Tonya, I certainly hope so, of course once plates are put on them you won't see them. I think I'll keep the plates off and they can put them on themselves when luncheon is served. Love Chris

Chris, I wouldn't be surprised if they took a napkin for a mat and didn't want to mess up these gorgeous pieces. You definitely give me some ideas and inspiration...now to just get all the customer's quilts done and start my stuff! lol

They are all just lovely, Chris. Even though you have used a design twice, each one is unique. Will dress your table beautifully.
