I used to give a class on placemats to introduce people to piecing quilt blocks. I always liked the style of this one with a strap for the napkin and a pocket for the silverware. I think I got the idea for it from some picnic placemats that I had seen. You prepare each one with the napkin and silverware and then roll them up to put in the picnic basket.
I'm headed out for a walk this morning. It is time to add exercise to my quest for losing a few pounds. I have that 50th class reunion at the end of next month that I need to feel good at.

Those are darling, and they look like something even I could handle. ;-)
You've just given me an idea for Christmas gifts!
Hope you had a wonderful walk!
I agree with Pattie~
Something I could handle and a great idea for gifting.
Had never seen a pocket for utensils on a placemat.

What a cute idea. Thanks for sharing.
These are an absolutely super idea! Definite Christmas gift possibilities!!! Thank you!!
Those are really neato. What a great idea for practicing blocks. Now I know some of the placemats I am going to work on for my table. Thanks!
Those are way cool, Wanda.
I can see making a few for myself.
It would be perfect for our quilter's potluck as we provide our own tableware.
Thanks for the brain tickle.

"Brain-tickle"! That's a great one, Vickie F!
What a great placemat, Wanda! And what super fabric for a placemat! I've made lots of placemats over the years, and it's time to make some more. This one has got me thinking! oooo, could be dangerous!
Very cute idea -- I once had placemats with pockets that I thought were adorable, but I've never seen the napkin holder idea. I love that red and purple fabric.
I love this style too but have never made any. Have you thought about putting a tutorial on how to make them on your blog? I'd love to see it. blessings, marlene
