I had some fabric left over from the Aussie birds quilt top, so I used it to make a table topper or centrepiece, whatever you want to call it.
Whilst sorting through my stash for the right fabric to start another project, I re-discovered some lovely chicken fabric, and decided to throw together some placemats to sell at a Guild fund raising afternoon coming up. Ken loved these, and was upset to hear that I was donating them for resale! I had to tell him that there was plenty more of those chooks left and I could whip up more placemats for him later on!
I used up bits and pieces for the borders on these, hence the black borders on the sides of one of the mats. They are not meant to be a matching set, and I can see I will have to make sure they are labelled separately so people don't start making rude comments about them not matching!

How great is it to have a husband who appreciates your crafting!
Love all your ideas and work with these fabrics. And you're right to anticipate the rude comments and find a way to nip that in the bud!
It goes well with the red and spotted fabric, they make lovely placemats
Sweet table topper. Your chicken placemats are great. I love chicken, alive, on the plate or decorating placemats. Red and black are one of my favorite color combinations. Nice work Gina!
