and one for me.

I couldn't resist doing a placemat for me.  (And Mr M is waiting for his, now too)

The colours are a bit 'springy'... I guess I'm getting tired of grey skies and early nights.

And I like the reverse just as much.

Now... where's my coffee?

Very beautiful! Colours of Spring on a dreary winter morning! May it help start your mornings off with a smile!

Both sides are just adorable!

Pretty! It feels like spring today - bright even if it is a bit windy so I am taking the boys off for a scamper. Your placemat has put me in the mood!

very cute! i'm so jealous.

if it doesn't snow soon and get pretty over here, then i'm going to be demanding spring time as well. i usually love winter but all the grey skies and brown-ness everywhere has gotten to me.

I like spring colors all year round. It is so pretty and I'm glad you were able to get your hands on some DS fabric! It'll be neat to see what you do for hubby. :o)

Thanks for the comment about the bag. Im afraid its all I can do though. I dont know how to crochet anything else! I would love to make some crocheted flowers like your garland but have been unable to so far. I need t0 find someone local with amazing crochet skills to pass her crochet legacy on to me. I am desperate to learn! Your blog is fabulous and very inspiring!

beautiful placemat.....even more reason to sit down and have a cup of coffee!

Ah, that second Denyse Schmidt that you used as the backing is one of my favourite fabrics ever! I bought a yard in NYC last year and I ration it out so carefully - I think it's been in nearly every quilt I've ever done, in very small amounts! Lovely creations.

beautiful!

This is the prettiest placemat!!!

If you wanted to write out a tutorial for your readers about how to make one of these, I'm sure we'd be happy! This looks fantastic!
