Here are the four place-mats that I finished.
These two pictures refuse to turn the correct way for me.

Place-mats
I made some place-mats. They are quilted and then I added some marks with silver paint. I zig-zaged all the edges, but other then that they are all left rough and unbound. I like the frayed look. All the dyed fabrics were hand dyed by me. I still have a nice stash of hand dyed fabrics that I am using in my work. If we get a nice amount of snow this winter I want to make some more snow dyed fabric to work with. I love the mottled look that comes from this method.

Thank you Janelle! And HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! xoxo
Thank you!! I hope you had a great one, xoxo
These are such fun! I think the last time I made place mats was in the 1970's or whenever it was that brown and beige with little flowers were all you could get in fabric - LOL.
Thank you - I hope you're having a great weekend! So sorry it took me so long to get back to you! xo
