Appliqué initialed table linen

Because a new house needs new accessories, and also because we'd left this line of articles aside for far too long...


This is my production of yesterday. Six 100% cotton placemats (2 for each member of the family) with initials and matching napkin or bib in a beautiful soft-coloured batik.


I love the easy to use tiny patterns, the subtle gradation ...


... and understated mix of colours ...


and this top-heavy lettering (Showcard Gothic) which, I think, lends a decidedly modern-retro feel to something that could so easily err on the side of well-meaning handicrafts of some soppy Lady Bountiful.
