Green & White

 I made these green and white placemats for a Christmas gift and added a green and white quilt to my wish list. These fabrics (by Camille Roskelley) are just too dreamy. 

And here it is! I used a pattern from this book and I think it looks so pretty in green!

Placemats

 These placemats will also be for sale soon. This is a set of 4 placemats made with Arcadia and "Life Is" fabrics and measure about 12" x 17".

I think the text on this fabric would be a wonderful way to start the day. "Make life simple. Make life beautiful. Make life colorful. Make life relaxing." I love it!

The backing is a nice print in taupe and white and the quilting is a simple straight-line repeated 6 times horizontally. 

Placemats

I made some placemats this week.

Each one is unique, although they all use mostly the same fabrics.


And each one is stipple quilted.

I made six of them and it took quite a long time! I'll just say that we won't be using these on spaghetti nights. ;)

The backs are made of a pretty pastel vintage fabric. I suppose they could be reversible?

Isn't it nice that the flowers in the yard are the perfect shades of blue and purple to match the placemats?

Vintage Fabric Placemats

I used some of my vintage floral fabrics to make two placemats for my daughter.

The blue is my favorite... lots of pretty florals - 3" squares - set on point.


The back is also vintage fabrics...

The pink is also 3" squares. I actually made this one first, per my daughter's request.


The back on this one is the bright vintage fabric I bought a few months ago.

I bound both of these in white, which I am hoping I won't regret. Maybe we won't use these placemats on spaghetti night?

I have plans to make a green and a yellow version, too. My daughter's favorite color is green, so I know that would make her very happy.
