Making a Kitchen Set

I was working on this kitchen set all week.  Last week I had made the 8 placemats.  Then I added 4 potholders/hot pads, 8 napkins, a striped runner and 3 coordinating dish towels.  I picked these colors because I thought they were trendy.  I especially like the quatrefoil pattern on the green fabric.  It looks like one of the new Stampin' Up papers! 

Of course, I made these for a gift!  I love being able to give home-made presents to the people that I love. :)

What colors would you use for your kitchen set?

Making Table Runners

Okay, I think I have a "thing" for making table runners!  I made several using this star pattern.  It's not that difficult to make.  I will work on making a tutorial for it in the near future! 

This one I made in a cheetah-type print for my daughter.  One day we were out at Joann Fabrics and she liked the print so we bought the whole bolt!

I made four of these for Christmas presents.  They make a great gift.  Your recipient only needs to bring it out on the holidays, and who doesn't need a festive table runner?
