Cut a piece of material of your choosing to 18” X 28”.  Cut a 2 hearts out of contrasting material and with right side to right side stitch around all but three inches of the heart. Turn the heart right side out and iron. Whip stitch the rest of the heart closed. Place the heart at the lower right hand corner of your fabric so that the edges of the heart are 1 ½” from the bottom and from the right side. Sew around the bottom of the heart with a straight stitch. Leave the top of the heart open. Fold the material so that right sides are to right sides. Sew around the three sides of the placemat leaving a 5 inch opening. Turn placemat right side out and iron. Whip stitch the 5” opening closed.
            Take a piece of contrasting fabric and cut it to 12”X12”. This will be the napkin. Zigzag stitch the edges. Fold and place in the heart.
The placemat matches the quilting project for this week.
