hello placemats

June 15, 2024 by Tina 5 Comments

Happy Wednesday everyone! Last week we made pincushions and this week we are making cute placemats. A household staple.

Well that, milk & more fabric.

Grab some of your favorite scrappy fabrics or charm squares and head over to The Fat Quarter Shop You Tube channel to watch Kimberly Jolly & Sherri McConnell’s video tutorial.

I used a red, white & blue colorway. Such a cute summer look right?

And of course a little bit of burlap & lace embelishment for a cottagey look.

Helpful tips:

  • Use quilt batting if you don’t have fusible fleece. I somehow never have fusible anything in my workshop.
  • Spray baste. It helps hold your fabric in place when quilting. Seasoned quilty veterans already know this.
  • If you quilt them in a crosshatch style ….. don’t be afraid to {also} stitch in the ditch so your placemat lays a little flatter.

Now pour yourself a glass of lemonade and go make yourself some placemats. Or buy some. Or all of the above. I mean can you ever really have enough placemats or lemonade?

    I love the lace trim and your fun mix of fabrics! And oh yes, a can of 505 temporary adhesive spray gets used a lot around here!
