FINALLY FINISHED !

In my dining room I have a bookshelf where I have made a display of blue plates.
Not expensive ones but quite pretty all the same.


So when I had to choose a project while learning some new ( to me !) quilting blocks I decided to make some table mats to match the plates.


You know, I've been doing them for months - one tablemat a month !
Well this week I've been working hard on them and...

I'm finished !

So here's the big "Ta -da !"

Need a closer look?


There's even a little table runner for the centre.

It all reflects in the mirror, you see?

I'm quite pleased with them.

Cheers.

    I'd be more than QUITE pleased if I had made those Helsie! They are really lovely and co-ordinate so beautifully with your pretty collection of plates. If they were mine I'd be watching my guests like a hawk praying they didn't drop anything!!

    I was just going to ask the same question as Maria! When I open my B&B in Glastonbury, I will have to have a set :D
