Spring Placemats

Well, my kids have started calling me "that crazy placemat lady".  Yes, I  made more placemats

During a trip to JoAnn's, I saw this gray and yellow cotton fabric.  As many of you know, gray is one of my favorite colors, and the yellow shapes reminded me of daffodils.  I thought to myself, "What can I make with this?".  Well, placemats, of course!


 Now I just couldn't show you a bare placemat without a little special treat, and a piece of glazed lemon cake looks fabulous on it!  But then, I realized a cup of my favorite iced coffee would be delicious too...


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat!..
followed by a trip on the treadmill!

  1. Heather,
    your placemats are so stylish, makes me wish I could sew! Everything looks very cute and VERY yummy! Love your flowers & pitcher!
    I had a big lop eared bunny named Benjamin, he and my cat traveled cross country with me when I moved from CA to NC. He was the boss of our little or not little animal family! He kept my rottweiler and dachshund in check!

  4. You know, I have become a fan of the combination of gray and yellow. I wish there was a place I could use it in my home. Nice placemats. I agree with the others...you can never have too many.

  13. I bet you're keeping as busy as me. It seems I don't have as much time to post anymore. Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet words about Ren's prom pictures. Ren (and her brother) are two reasons for my lack of time. haha Hope you are doing well.
