Very cute and a great idea!! I have a little great niece with a January 1st birthday. She will be 3 next year. This may be something fun for me to do for her. They live about 600 miles away in my hometown of Charleston, SC. Thanks for the idea!!

Love the owl on the left. Where did you find the pattern? I'd sure like to have a copy!
|
I have been a member of this board for years but, only lurked. I just have to add to this wonderful idea. The receivers can save them, you could collect them and make a year long quilt by holiday months.
|
What a clever idea.
|
Those are so cute. I love that witch. Where did you get the pattern.
|
Those are darling. I love the witch and the cat!
|
A gift that will keep on giving. How fun to stretch their anticipation and excitement throughout the year. And yes, you are very lucky to have them all. Sounds like you are very appreciative.
|
Soooo cute! I know everyone will enjoy these gifts of the month.

They are adorable. Did you design them yourself? I did a similar idea for my Mom in assisted living. My husband made a plaque, with a 12 1/2" recessed center. I wrote "Celebrate" in a Sharpie paint pen, and put Velcro on the top and bottom of the recessed area. Each month I sent her a new wall hanging appropriate to the month, plus one for her birthday month. Many were from the Wooden Bear, but some where Nancy Halverson and others. Here is the birthday month, to give you an idea.

I love you're place mats, and what a great idea! It would work for any age, and I think kids would especially love getting a place mat for every month.
|
what a great idea, they are adorable...
|
Very smart, they are great. They look like so much fun, looking forward to seeing the next months place mats. Thank you for sharing.
|
What a wonderful idea! I love what you have already done, and look forward to seeing your monthly gifts!
|
What a kind and loving idea!
|
How very, very cute! I am sure they will bet a BIG kick out of using the mats and think of you while they do.
|
those are just so cute!
|
Terrific idea! If you don't mind telling, what site was this Mat of the Month on?
|
Sweet placemats.
|
How clever! And fun for all of you.
|
What a wonderful idea!! And such a great way to be part of their daily lives from far away!
|

Penni: Here is the photo of the monthly wall hanging idea that you liked. Tried to send it in a PM, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Hope it gives you an idea of what I was referring to in my earlier post. Your designs were wonderful though, so hope you can adapt them. This was Mom's Christmas gift, thus starting with January hanging.

Every month i'll send them a place mat for the next month. I want the mats to be something that will make them smile - and that will remind them i think about them every day. I'm sending them out early - with an "enrollment certificate" .....so started with October. Here's what i came up with...[ATTACH=CONFIG]490881[/ATTACH]Thanks for looking.

S cute! love 'em
|
This is a great idea! Especially good for people for whom it's hard to find just the right gift. It will keep going for the whole year and they will be excited to see what's coming next. You have come up with a wonderful idea here. Happy Sewing! Thanks for sharing.....can you tell I am thinking about doing this too?
|
Great idea! They are too cute.
|
I love them. I bet they do too.
|
Ur appliques are so beautiful.... still have mastered it.....
|
So cute, and a really great idea. I may just have to "borrow" the idea.
|
Adorable and a great idea!
|
Cute! AND clever idea for gift giving!
|
That is a thoughtful gift and October's are super cute.
|
They are just adorable!
|
They are adorable! Love them all. What a WONDERFUL idea. They will love getting a package each month and love having a meal or afternoon tea "with" you.
|
You are blessed to have them and they to have you
|
I think that's a fantastic, wonderful idea. I might "borrow" your idea and make placemats of the month for our DGD, she is 4 and might get a kick out of it, after all "Grandma MiMi always brings her presents!" She's definitely got my number and I wouldn't have it any other way.
|
Nice placemats. You are ready for October!
|
Just adorable!! Love them.
|
These are adorable and I don't even like Halloween. I would love to make these though, my granddaughter would love them!
|
Great idea and very cute placemats.
