It’s the timeless story of romance. Boy meets girl… romance is in the air. These adorable redwork designs sew very quickly, and will bring you joy for years to come. Stitch them on felt squares, cut the edges with pinking shears, and tuck into an envelope or hang on a gift bag. Use in the center of quilt squares for a fast way to hold all of your layers together. All of the designs fit in the 4 by 4 hoop. Try these any time of year for a touch of sweetness. To purchase these designs, click here.

There have been lots of requests for these placemats, and we have twelve colors to choose from! Just think of what you can do with these! You can use them unadorned, and embroider them when you have some free time. You can make a set for yourself, and your best friend at the same time. You can turn them into book covers, cake or bread baskets, tote bags or make-up bags — the possibilities are endless! See the close-up pictures below to appreciate the quality and the color choices!

The design that is embroidered on the peach placemat above is from A Design by Lyn and is called One by One. Thank you, Lyn!

This placemat features an adorable butterfly from Designs Sew Fine and is part of the Butterflies II collection.  A contrasting fabric was added to the edge of the placemat, and finished just like a small quilt. This is a great idea! You can make napkins to coordinate with your binding!
