Hi Angela -
ReplyDeleteI love your new tutorial - I never new chalkboard material existed, what a cool idea!
BTW - I love all of your webtips! Thank you for posting them:)
Kristine.
I love this tutorial. I bought chalkboard material probably about 10 years ago and still haven't used it. Maybe this will be the idea I need to use it. that and the fact I have two grandchildren and another on the way. I would love to win this give-away also. Thank you. Take care and God bless, Cory
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful tutorial. I really need to make these for my three grandchildren! And thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win such great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love this tutorial. I have 5 kids aged 4-8, so this project is perfect! Four of them are girls, so I'm always on the look-out for cute girl prints. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteLove this tutorial - where was chalkboard material when my kiddo was small ;-)??? I was always looking for anything to keep her busy and content when we went out to eat. I love your website - so user friendly and easy to get around.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! I didn't know chalkboard material existed! My children would have loved these when they were young!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway and especially to Paige for writing the card!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice giveaway. I like your daughter's decorated room so her card must be special. I like the concept of your MBS placemats - I always liked to color those placemats in restaurants and now my grandnieces do too.

ReplyDeleteHi Angela I was so excited when I saw your placemats because I just bought some chalkboard fabric and was waiting for a neat project to make for my five year old grandsons. Thanks for the tutorial and also your give away.
ReplyDeleteLove the tutorial on buisness accessories! I wanted to do Lanyards for my co-workers this year for Christmas and now I know where to start :) Also love the chalkboard placements. I have a 1 year old and I could see that being a fun take-along to restaurants etc.
ReplyDeleteI love your Moda Towel Pack Apron Tutorial. It's just too darn cute! I might have to give that one a try! Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteLove the tutorial for Big Sister and Little Brother. I'll be making them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tutorial! The only downside is that it's now added to my ever-growing to-sew list that I already feel will never be finished! Thanks for the opportunity for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove all the tutorials. I'll have to go back and look at them all. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see text for what the tutorial is, either on the photo or when you hover over the picture. Right now it does have some text, but you have to hover and wait for awhile.
Love the placemats...what a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteYour placemats are a fantastic idea. Great job and I am going to visit your tutorials. Sockmonkey shirts are darling.
ReplyDeleteYour placemat is a great idea. I'll be making 2 soon.

Like a previous poster already said, I didn't even know chalkboard fabric was a thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks - not only for the chance to win such an awesome prize, but also for all the creative ideas you share. :)

ReplyDeleteThese "Placemats To-Go" are an adorable no-waste project - using the WHOLE Jelly Roll to make SEVEN placemats...GENIOUS!!!!!
thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! for your extra effort and FUNtastic ideas! ♥
Great idea. I'm still into small patch work pieces and this is perfect. No grandchildren yet, but great nephews and nieces will and especially my siblings will appreciate this project.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much,.
Lynn
I had no idea you had so many tutorials......I really like the knit baby blanket and mitts.....need to make those for my gifts for every new baby. The chalkboard mats are wonderful. All of your ideas seem to be perfect for my grandchildren. I sure hope I hands on your giveaway...so much fun to be had!! Kristy
ReplyDeleteFree tutorials are so amazing! Thank you. I love the idea of flat dolls. I should make some for my daughter. I have a comment about the main menu page for the tutorials. I found it a bit tedious to have to click on each image to see what the title of the tutorial was. It would be much nicer for a text description to be included on that first page.
ReplyDeleteThe placemats are a great idea. I didn't know there was such a thing as chalkboard vinyl. Where would one source it? Thanks so much for sharing!
As the mother of two little boys, this project is perfect for them! I can't wait to make these mats! Thanks for the great tutorial and giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! I think it would make a great holiday gift!! I've been trying to think of something fun for the kids! Thanks so much for the giveaway too!

ReplyDeleteThose chalkboard placemats are super cute! What a great kid gift for home or traveling. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great tutorial, have had a piece of chalkboard fabric for ages and your placemats are just the project I will use it for.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I have two favorites.... I've made the Burp Cloth and Bib set as a gift and loved how they turned out. I also love the little Fla temelie and Matt paperdolls! I'd love to make them for my granddaughter who is going to China very soon to live for FOUR years! She is enjoying coloring some paperdolls that I just got her!

ReplyDeleteI have just been through your tutorials and particularly love the princess pea quilt and layer cake pincushion. I will probably have a go at your chocolate cake too in the food section, a girl can never have too many recipes for chocolate cake. Thank you for an extremely generous giveaway.I had looked at your original post on Moda just this morning. It is already late evening here in England.

ReplyDeleteThis will make a great gift for my granddaughter (5) and for my students to use in the classroom to practice spelling words or math facts. Anything different will make it fun and not a chore! I'm going to make the Island Cookie recipe this week. What about dried pineapple in place or the cranberry. I think I need to make a recipe using each. Thank you Anglea and congratulations on your book!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to make these for stocking stuffers for Christmas! Wonderful tutorial.

Angela, I love your new tutorial, actually I love ALL of you tutorials. Your Princess and the pea quilt is the cutest idea I've ever seen. I also love how your daughter's room is done in Eden by Lila Tueller. If my next baby is a girl, we're naming her Eden so that fabric line would be perfect!!!

ReplyDeleteFound your website and blog through The Bake Shop: how lucky am I!

This is such a great tutorial. I made a similar playmat when I first discovered chalk cloth. Back then, I only had charm squares, so it's tic tac toe style. I love the one large piece for all types of coloring and games. Fresh Fabric Treats is one of my go-to books for inspiration. Good stuff! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this placemat tutorial - I have some chalkboard fabric and have been waiting for a good pattern for it! It is hard to find the little chalk here - I can only find the sidewalk chalk.
ReplyDeleteLove the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to buy some chalkborad material and start making your placemats . I love that the recipe is for 7 of them. I love efficient sewing. thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteChalkboard fabric....fabulous! I want some.

ReplyDeleteI had bought some chalkboard fabric with a similar project in mind - however, I love having all the directions done for me. Think this will make great Christmas presents!
ReplyDeleteYour tutorials are wonderful - I think I'm going to dig out my ruffler and give the ruffled tablerunner a try (I've never ever used my ruffler).
Thanks for this great tutorial. I have two nieces who would love these for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of having these handy for my neighbors kids! Thanks for the tutorial!
