For a while now, Mom and I have been talking about making some smaller-ticket items for the shop. One thing we’ve been talking about doing is making some simple placemats.
The other day, I had some time so I grabbed a charm pack from the stash.
It was called Chili Smiles, and I bought it for no other reason than it was darn cute! I had no plans at the time and this seemed like the perfect use for it.
The idea for these placemats is really simple – just six squares sewn together, and then surrounded with a border. It’s the perfect way to show off some really fun fabrics!
And it doesn’t get any more fun than these prints!!!!
I had a few charm squares left, so I put together a little pinwheel for a hot plate holder.
These will all get quilted and bound, and then be ready for the shop sometime next month! Stay tuned!
