I just have to tell you that I fell in love with Wendy's book right off.  Her directions are so easy to understand, the book itself is bright and inviting.  Using these fabulous Island Batik Fabrics is just the cat's meow.

It has just been in the last few years that I have wanted table placemats for my table instead of table cloths.

                                               HERE IS WENDY'S PLACE MAT DESIGN

She gives you two color ways.

Don't you just love them?

Here is mine!

                                             I used Caribbean Splash from Island Batik.

                                    I truly enjoyed these awesome fabrics and this fun design.

                                My son andH is wife came to dinner Sunday and I just had to use them.

I did make the little runner to go in the middle which is on the post here!

FAST

EASY

FUN!

FUN!

So Check out Wendy's book and hop on over there to Island Batik to find the nearest store near you or online store that sells these fabulous fabrics!

Just leave a comment to win her book.

You have just got to see this....so clever!!!

This is a placemat.  You color in the lines....it is so clever  You just have to go over to Splitting Stitches  she is having a giveaway but to be honest....I am not posting this to win (it would be nice but...) I just think it is one of the most clever things I have seen in a long time.

So...hop on over there and see her other placemats and just see for yourself how clever she is.
