Hot pads or placemats?





I've been dying to put these reversible placemats and napkins that I made on the blog, but I had to wait until the intended recipients had received them first.  I made them for Judi and Sheila to spice up mealtimes at the guest hotel by the Mayo Clinic where they're going to be for another month or two while Judi undergoes her treatment. (Please continue beaming positive thoughts and prayers their way!)


I got the hunky construction worker fabric a long time ago at the IQA-Chicago show, where there was a mob of women around the booth all wanting a piece. I heard plans for using it for shower curtains, pillowcases, and boxer shorts.




Bunners could use a vegetable theme placemat for her meals instead of the kitchen rug. She didn't actually get that whole carrot in one sitting -- I just put it out for the photo. Is she the cutest bunny or what? She just sat on my lap for a whole Alfred Hitchcock movie.






And here is a totally random shot of the harbor at sunset last week. Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a colorful day

Re: the "hunky constuction worker" fabric - when you're too old to look, you're too darn old...

I think if Bunners had a vegetable theme placemat, the placemat might end up in shreds. Quite innocently, of course, but your fabric choices are so luscious who could resist trying a taste?

I continue to hold your friend in my heart & prayers & my thoughts are with them both during this time. You continue to be a wonderful, thoughtful friend. In the end, caring for each other is really what life is all about...

Well, something about those placemats will cheer you up, one way or another. Personally, I would go for the food. Just like Bunners. lol
