Years ago our next door neighbours at the time brought us a large lace table mat from Spain, which sits in the middle of the table with a vase and a picture on (DH) in the dining room.
At the weekend I was cleaning out the window where the old lady sits and was looking for something for the rubbish out of the window to sit on (DH's little buys, including a pot donkey
) I wanted some newspaper but then I saw my sewing machine mat draped over the machine on the floor and grabbed that.
Well what can I say, other than the colours on the table looked fabulous with the polished wood so I'm making another table mat in the same fabric.
Since I won't be able to bag this will just quilting clips around the edges be sufficient? All I can think of is just do circles around with an alternate circle of tacking to increase the width. Not sure whether just plain and simple stitch or a fancy one?
