Tea & Cookies for Two - October Kit - Makes 2

A cup of hot tea, a plate of fresh cookies, a homemade seasonal placemat - these simple elements make it so easy to enjoy the present moment with someone you care about! Celebrate each month and moment with the Shabby Fabrics Tea & Cookies for Two Placemats. The October placemats feature a grinning jack-o'-lantern in a spooky orange and black palette. If you prefer plain autumnal pumpkins, the appliqué face shapes are optional, and can be left out! Pretty patchwork and a pre-fused laser-cut appliqué scallop make this a breezy project you will love to make and display. Each mat finishes to approximately 9-1/2" x 15-1/2".

Kits make 2 placemats. 

Follow along with Jen as she shows you how fun and easy these placemats are to make!
