Placemats do not have to be of any particular theme.
Placemats must be pieced & quilted. Not hand tied.
Construction and finish of your design; You may use any technique that will go through the laundry process.
Materials; 100% Cotton is recommended. Poly, cotton or felt batting is acceptable.
Embelishments; May be used if they can go through the laundry process and do not cause the items that will site on top to turn over.
Each placemat must have a label or be signed and dated 2012.

Once partners have been assigned, it will be your responsibility to see that your partner post a picture of the placemats prior to mailing.
This is set for one reason alone…..I do not want you to mail your mats out until you know your partner has completed her mats coming to you. Once photos have been posted it will be entirely up to each member to follow through with your commitment to provide your partner with a mailing confirmation number to insure your package has been mailed. It will be up to the receiver to let you know if a signature of receipt is necessary. The expense of the signature receipt requested will be reimbursed between partners in the exchange process.

I love the idea of swapping 2 placemats. But I can't come up with an idea of how to make one as; Let’s talk or Tell me about your day. Does anyone have any idea of what I could do? If I can get some ideas, I would love to do this swap. I will let you know. Hugz

The only thing I can think of is to applique an oldfashioned telephone on a placemat and I wouldn't want a placemat like that.

I like this idea.

I was given the perfect fabric for this from my daughter for Christmas. I will pm you

i really hope you will do this again in another month or two! i really want to do it but i am commitmentful at the moment!! oooooo!!! but i wannnt toooo...! next time!!!

Sending u a PM to join....probably just do my own thing in a color my partner likes :)
