Have the best laid Christmas table in the neighbourhood with our fun napery projects, designed and made by Lynette Anderson with help from Donna Brabant. These simple placemats look great as a matching set, or mix and match prints for a fun and eclectic Christmas table. They're quick to sew and quilt and you get to play around with fussy cutting and appliqué to add the festive finishing touches. A top tip from Lynette is to cut your fusible web slightly larger than the detail you want to fussy cut. Iron it to the wrong side of the print before cutting out the shape.
This project was first featured in Today's Quilter magazine, issue 15. See more from Lynette over on the Lynette Anderson Designs website.
