I had this crazy idea to make place mats for my dining room. We just had our house rewired and I ordered my first chandelier so I wanted my table to look dressed up but not eat up the room. I wanted each one to be different and subtle but not uniform. I wanted your eyes to travel around the table and look at them. I sound like I have shit my together but when a friend told me they look like something you would make at Girl Scout camp I could not stop laughing or my girlfriend's mother who thought my fish wash an egg or a pineapple. I am glad that everyone has a sense of humor and an imagination. Being able to laugh at your work is really a great feeling.
I made the stripes, added the fabric, put batting in the middle and away we go.
