Christmas Placemat

In November I started on Christmas projects.  Last year I'd seen a Christmas Placemat pattern, but ran out of time to have a go at it, so I was determined to make it for this Christmas.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  I'd been tempted to find an easy cheat way to edge it but am so glad I followed the pattern and took the time to hand stitch the back! It really added to the sense of accomplishment too!
