ann kelle fabrics / placemat tutorial

Happy November! We made fun placemats using my Remix prints in the placemats. A special thanks to Brooke for working with me on the placemats. We worked on six different placemat designs.

I realize that this Thanksgiving tablescape idea is a bit different from the typical warm colors you find this time of year. But, I love my pinks, yellows and blue, even in the Fall.

There’s a total of 6 FREE placemat tutorials, which you can find below.

The “Flying Geese” and “Pixelated Heart” placemats are smaller versions of the free Robert Kaufman quilt tutorials, which you can find here and here.

We kept the quilting pretty simple on all the placemats.

The placemats are also reversible! I used solids on the backs of most of them. I just love the quilting on these!

These placemats came out so bright and happy! I actually kept the table set up like this for a couple days. (I’m thinking of hanging them up on the wall, when I’m not using them).
