Actually, if I am to be honest, I didn't start out to make tablemats, I just had small amounts of the wool, made tiny squares and when the wool ran out, then decided what to do! I had some old quilted placemats which were a bit sad, faded and raggedy in places, so cut them up, and used them as inners so they can be used for warm plates. Did the same with some vintage fabrics recently.<br>Would love to buy your 'Morning Light' but sadly husband may be without job in a months' time as his company are making one in three redundant, so it's a tense time and not one for fripperies. Sadly. But very best of luck with it all xMaggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00730681978813655624noreply@blogger.com
