Beautiful work! I don't know if I could use them either. So nice.

Nicely done

Oh, my, goodness-these are soooo pretty!! I haven't seen any done like these-did you use a pattern?

Thank you! All of you are so kind to comment! No I didn't use a pattern, but made up my own from ideas gleaned from different pictures found on the Internet. I liked the idea of making different designs for each placemat, unified by the fabric. As someone mentioned, I thought they'd make a bit of a conversation piece at the dinner table too :). Fun to make as they are not repetitive, so the options are endless!

Beautiful! And so much work! Lovely gifts!

Beautiful placemats. Too pretty to cover up with plates.

LOVE THEM!! Too pretty to eat on. Did you Scotch Guard them?

Your placemats are beautiful.
