I have been making some Christmas place mats to use on the Christmas dinner table. I used a fabric called Poinsettia & Holly by Kathy Negley for Rowan.
I just love the fabrics so I kept the design really simple.

Here you have the wonderful set of 6 placemats I've been hand embroidering in the spare time (hence it's taken a bit of time hehe). They are all different and will be used in the Christmas table this year.
He aquí un juego de seis individuales bordados a punto yugoslavo que he estado preparando en el tiempo libre para estrenarlos en Navidades. El tiempo libre escasea estos días, así que aunque las fotos son recientes, completarlos los seis ha llevado algún tiempo.

Sashiko is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Japan.
The white cotton thread on the traditional indigo blue cloth gives sashiko its distinctive appearance.
The artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) published the book New Forms for Design in 1824, and these designs have inspired many Sashiko patterns. (from Wikipedia)
The picture shows an Aizome (indigo dyeing) sashiko embroidery 100% cotton table mat.

Found these vintage doilies at a thrift shop. They weren't all quite finished so I did the job and put them together as a table mat. I was particularly attracted by the colours because I am sure I would not have chosen them myself. And I love them! They make me smile every time I come into the room!
This isn't where I was intending to put this little project I just finished, but actually, I like it a lot here. I think it's staying.

A souvenir of my time working in the Officers Mess at R.A.F. Binbrook.
I wonder which officers ate their meals on this mat, John Rands of Red Arrows fame, David "Charlie" Chan ? ( who became CO 17 Sqn and first RAF pilot to fly solo in the Typhoon)
These coiled mats are made from scraps of fabric wrapped around a cord. I like using different shades of the same colour in one mat--aren't these periwinkle blues great?

The feeling that it was all over hit me during dessert. I'm going to miss my tablemates and all the fun and meeting everyone (_Darin, Mark, Gloria, Tracy and mom, Angela and Mary, wepon, shug, amelie and jennfl). But we'll be back next year.
It's back to the airport for me. Back to reality once again.

The Provence region of France is famous for its Lavender.
I took this shot from a tablemat on display outside a shop in Avignon (Navette Macaron).
13. Photo effects - Create an interesting “concentric circles effect” with an otherwise bland landscape. You will need to take a long exposure and hold your camera steady for part of the shot before twisting it to create the effect. – Cathy - TH4/15/13
concentric circles of my table place mat makes the pattern feel almost 3D
