I love cute kitchen towels, and wanted to do something more permanent with them. I found these artichoke ones at Crate and Barrel and made them into place mats.
I bought two towels, folded each in half, with batting in between. Then I free motion stitched around the designs, trimmed them up into rectangles and zig-zagged the edges. Easy, not rocket science, but I thought I share the idea it with you.
Hi Jane,

And I love these place mats!
You did give me an idea! Since i cannot find placemats i like i may have to make my own! Thanks Girlie! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteEasy, but really pretty! What a god idea. Now I'll be looking for some towels.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - love the free motion quilting!!
ReplyDeleteI love them. What are the spindle looking items in the jar on the table? 'they are cool looking.
ReplyDeleteThank you so all your sharings.
What a great idea!! but then - you ALWAYS have great ideas!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteTalk about pretty, simple and easy! I saw this idea used for a baby quilt, too. The larger print on one small, a small scale on the other. Quilt around the large scale print, then trim the quilt's wdges with a purchased or third fabric, homemade bias tape. Just like your placemats! Wow! Just like your placemats could, the baby quilt could have a unique shape: clover, oval, etc. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Tell me about those huge "honey" dippers.... at least that's what they look like. :o)
