I did a set of 4 placemats (with a twisted thingy to hold the napkins) and napkins for DS and his wife. The two fabrics I used were a cream with small red and green dotted pattern and and a green...I knew they would look very nice with their dishes. Then I did a set of 4 of the same for my DD and her hubby with a green solid fabric and a wintery scene of snowmen and log cabins. Everyone loved them. That was the only sewing I did this year for gifts.
