Looking ahead to Christmas (aren't we all?)...
I want to make some placemats/table runners for family. Not too intricate, as I will have my "new to sewing" daughter-in-law helping, too. Any simple patterns? We are new to Arizona, so am interested in SW designs. (I just bought a stash of SW style fabric: kokapelis, saguaros, etc)

These are for napkins, you'll need napkins for your place mats.
I love this website

Member tarib posted a picture of a very nice christmas table runner on Jan. 3rd. I bookmarked it but do not know how to provide a link. Hopefully you can search the site and find it?

type "placemats" in the search above. Many will come up. Lots of great ideas.

When you use search at the very top of the page, click on advanced.
Type in placemats in the search box. You will see the list highlighted in blue? Click on pictures to see pictures of them or click Links and you will get a ton of links to patterns :D:D:D

I have a personal website with oodles of links... hmmm.. I haven't added to it in a bit... I should pick a topic and have at it!

Come - look - I have tons of placemat links! When I find more, I add them since I personally love fabric placemats!
