I come up with the placemat design and got the napkin chili pepper design from emblibrary, but don't remember where I got the one on the placemat. One of my co-workers was getting married and they said red and yellow for their kitchen and they were doing chili peppers. I know his mother so asked if she thouth it would be something they would use. I originally made 6 placemats in two evenings, then went to the store and got a 100% cotton yellow that would coordinate with the yellow in the placemat. I made 6 napkins to go with the placemats and one bread cloth. They loved them and got lots of ooooo's and ahhh's. I need to make some for myself, not Chili Peppers... the picture does not to the placemat justice.
