Place Mats finished

I’m pleased to say that my set of placemats for the caravan are now finished.  The stitchery portion had been completed a while ago.   After machine quilting, the final job was to hand stitch the binding down.  I always enjoy this last part, and stitched away sitting outside on the patio in the warm Autumn sunshine.  These place mats will be used on our table during our next caravan trip away.

Place mats all done

This great outdoorsy design is from Stitcher’s Revolution Camping Adventures, and I thought it was just right to use in the caravan.   Now I’m deciding which transfer to use on an apron for the caravan, there are several to choose from.

The caravan placemats with the cute outdoorsy theme are perfect to place on the table when you are out and about in your van. I love the sound of an apron with a lovely stitchery on it.

They're just perfect for your next trip! That embroidery is adorable, and your finish is nice... it's just too bad that the prettiest part will be hidden under a plate! :-)
