Serve up your favorite summer meals with a side of coastal charm! 🏖️☀️ This handcrafted set of five "Beach Day Essentials" placemats is absolutely perfect for infusing your home with sunshine. Designed, appliqued and pieced by Linda E Wells (April, 2025) Measuring 15X13-inches each, they are an excellent choice for a breezy screened porch, a backyard pool party, or a beach house table when hosting family and friends. What makes this set so special is that every single guest gets their own unique piece of the beach! The 9x9-inch center designs feature a mix of colorful beach balls, pails and shovels, and summer flip-flops. Each motif is framed with generous quilted borders (3 inches on the sides, 2 inches on the top and bottom) using a mix of classic straight and blanket stitching. Bound with an elegant decorative stitch and backed in a soft tone-on-tone light blue, they are as durable as they are delightful! At Quilts and More for Home Decor, I take pride in offering unique, handcrafted pieces to enhance your living spaces with warmth and personality.
