It has been a very long time since I have posted anything new. Without any comments, I have no way to know if anyone really cares if I post or not. I need a little nudge sometimes I guess... if you appreciate my little stories, pictures and sometimes tidbits of info... every now and then leave a note to let me know your thoughts.
Ron made an observation when we were at a friend's house for dinner a few weeks ago... How come our placemats aren't as big as hers? I didn't think my typical placemat was too small, but he was right... hers were definitely bigger. This is not one of hers... it is one from the new set I made in my "new" size standard.
These larger ones are 13 x 18 and really do work much nicer. I never realized just how small my other ones were. Overall these new ones make me smile when we sit to eat. The placemat does not look crowded and the bright colors just have a nice effect. I decided to use the backing fabric as the binding after I determined that I could separate the back from the binding with a little strip of green. Back is almost just as nice as the front. If Ron sits down before I get dinner on the table... he turns them over with the back up cause he really likes that side.
