More Placemats
 

I still have the placemat bug. I did these in lighter colors and not my usual jewel tones. I still used the cats in these as well.....

How cute!! Would love it with dogs!~!

Now aren't those cute!! I admire you though. I made placemats recently, and they didn't do it for me at all! Yours are just perfect though!

Oh I love them!!!

I love your placemats! But I am reluctant to make ones that have that large of a design/picture because I can't visualize how they will look when they are set for dinner. Would you take a picture of yours when they are in use? I have some fabric I would like to use but have just been hesitant for fear the table won't look right when the dishes and food are all on it. Obviously you have overcome the problem.

Those are wonderful. My daughter, Bridget, just loves the cat placemats!!

Really cute placemats.

Cute as can be. What neat kitten fabric, too!

The placemats look like pieces of art on the table and it doesn't matter that each one is different, look at these...

Hubby and I live a very eclectic life lol. The food is what matters to us and what it sits on is second nature lol..food sitting on artwork always looks great lol......you made me laugh when you said you fear that the table won't look right and if it doesn't, that would create a problem? In my world there are no such problems. All creative work is beautiful, big or small, so go ahead and dive right in, you won't be disappointed.....it will al come together.

I was digging in my stash in the novelty section and found a panel with the cats to sew together and stuff and then just the sleeping kitties. I did the mats for the sleeping kitties and made a couple of the stuffed ones to go with my antique or cloth dolls that I made now and then....like Maggie Bessie or Izanna walker types....I will upload those in a minute....

The kitties are posted in this thread along with my latestes project.

Also here are pics of my table without the placemats, showing the twister table runner and the beaded fairy on her star tuffett.

Then here is a pic of the table set for dinner or lunch witht he placemats, notice that nothing is moved, just the placemats added lol...I told you we were eclectic.

:D:D Love your chairs. Look like you and DH enjoy life!

The doll is great but her tuffett is terrific. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing.:)

Thank you Linda, the star tuffett is just diamonds patchwork, I am working on a smaller one. I like my doll to sit on eclectic stuff too lol.....

Loved your reply to TanyaL, my thoughts exactly, could relate to your Laurel Burch placemats as years ago made 2 quilts for grandsons using this colourful fabric. and have since used the left overs for quick projects, long live diversity, your work is lovely.

My how cute! they're adorable!

I love cats,love coconut candy and love your attitude to life.

Love them - whimsical layout - great job!!

Very cute.

These are really cute!

Those are cute.

Very sweet, thanks for sharing.

Love your place mats. They are so cute. You did a great job.

Really like your placemats. You have done a great job on them.

those are great! but i keep telling my cats to get OFF the table! lol! they would find those the perfect napping spot.

These are so adorable! :)

Thank you ladies. I enjoy the comments. I dont' have cats but do have three dogs. I love to put cats in quilts and other things as they are such a character and always attract for some reason, I guess they have a cat magic all their own.

Amen on the eclectic life, rosyhf...just so there's food on the table...we don't eat the placemats!!! Those are darn cute!!!

Love your Place Mats!!!

Now how cute are they! Love the kitties, and your work is splendid.

I'm noticing some April Cornell (Poetry) fabric as well as some Kaffe Fassett! They look great!

I love love love your placemats (and I'm a dog person) and I adore your doll!!!!! I wish I could make one. :)

Sue, I have fabric from year one lol. I just dip in my scrap bin and sort a few. My friends also contribute to my bin now and then, so one never know what might turn up...I do have Kaffe in my stast tho, well who doesn't? One thing I do with all my fabric, so the last, is to wash them when I get them. I remember they used to put chemicals in the fabric. I don't know if it's still done, but I still wash before storing.

I love your kitty placemats. Thanks for sharing.
