So, last week I showed you my quilted table runner, which I really like. And it was fun to make too, which is saying something since I've never quilted anything in my life. I had so much fun in fact, that I decided to make some quilted placemats.
I love these bundles you find at the fabric store:
I have trouble with matching colors and patterns. That's right, I admit it to the world: I am matching-deficient. These bundles make it simple for me to put something together and not have someone say, "Those blues are all wrong together." It can really dampen a seance, friends.
Using the same method as I did for the runner, I made placemats. Easy-schmeasy.
I love them. And since I have a frightening lack of placemats in my home, I might pick up a couple more bundles to make some more.
Now if you'll pardon me, I have to return to the seance... I think we've finally got Elvis on the line.
Gorgeous! Good for you, I am still afraid of my sewing machine, teehee! Speaking of looking good, you look marvelous! Have a great weekend my friend. ~Lori

Love these, and the fabric is super pretty! I have the worst time matching fabrics too, so I love buying those little bundles. :-) In case you didn't see it earlier, I featured this on my blog today! I'm stopping by to pin, and to let you know you can grab a Featured button if you don't already have one! http://practicallyfunctional.net/2013/07/12-creative-ideas/
