I couldn't resist one more swap this spring. This time it was a placemat swap hosted by krommama on Flickr. This is the package I sent to my partner, Julie. The placemat can be seen better below. I made a simple coin quilt, but with very pretty fabrics. The house is a hot pad and I just love the yellow daisy print in the background. I must see if I can find more of it! I also included a bit of tea and some homemade jam.
In return I got a fabulous package from Julie! There were two placemats (!), some tea and cookies and some coffee candy. The goodies had been consumed by the time the photo was taken. Aren't these some great free pieced letters! I'm so happy to have these. This was one of the best swaps I've done.
I confess I haven't actually used them for dining yet, but I am contemplating it. Perhaps a spot of tea with them would be just right. Thank you so much Julie! If you'd like to see more beautiful placemats, check out the Flickr group at the link above.
What a great set of little quilts! Love the one you made and the two you received. And your house hotpad is just too cute!!!

You made a great placemat and hot pad and got some great ones in return as well. I have sent my placemat off and so has my partner, so we are eagerly waiting for ours - great fun!

Those are wonderful! I wonder about the quilted placemats though. What do you do about staining? They just seem so lovely that I'd probably just use them for decoration but maybe I'd miss out on the fun that way. Oh well, either way, they are beautiful!

I am so silly...I didn't realize that the eat drink placemats went to you! I just love them. I love the one you made too. The house hot pad is just great!

These are the greatest placemats ever (barring yours, of course).
