Hmmm.....Maybe I should design the matching dishcloth. |

That pattern would look nice on a table runner, too. Across a dining room table with a nice bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers set on it in the center of the table. Nice candles and candleholders, maybe pewter holders, would like nice. Yep, it would make a very nice runner. |
That's nothing like I expected to see...not after reading the title. I like it a lot more than what I thought I was going to see. I can see the placemats being done in a number of interesting colors that would compliment people's kitchens. I also think that this is a great pattern for covers for throw pillows. It's a very attractive, easy to fit in with any decor, type of pattern.
