28 pages, illustrated

Kids and families will love these friendly placemat projects. Inspired by a birthday gift for a grandchild, Wanda Eichler has designed eleven projects for children and families. From the Max’s Birthday Train Placemat to the Daddy Daybag to the clever Change Mat, quilters will find easy-to-make and fun designs in this book.

Color photos of placemats that feature juvenile fabrics with dinosaurs, cats, penquins, robots, monkeys, and more provide ideas for use of theme fabrics commonly available in quilt shops. These designs find new ways to use fabrics that you love to buy but can’t quite find a home for.

Designs like the Daddy Daybag and Lap Mat for the car make great gifts for adults. Kids will love the idea of a special birthday placemat all their own. Make a set of the Family Time placemats for weeknight suppers. Quilted placemats bring pizazz to take out meals served at home. Even pizza from the box tastes better with homemade placemats.

Complete directions, full size appliqué templates, and accurate diagrams make sewing with this book a joy for experienced quilters and easy for beginners.
