Poshta Presents - A Holiday Place Setting!

Hello friends!  It's Thursday again, and that means a new installment of Poshta Presents!  Our talented friend Susana Alvizuri is back this week with more holiday entertaining ideas!  Over the last few weeks, she has shared wine glass charms and drink coasters, and today, she is setting the table with napkin rings and appliqued placemats.  Read on to learn how she created these beautiful and festive table settings!

To create the appliqué for the place mat, I cut two of the largest stars from the Basic Star die set using two different colors of felt from the Holly Hill Color Story - One solid color star and one cut using the Embroidered Snowy Star Details. I stitched the details and embellished with coordinating beads and sequins. I glued the applique to the bottom left corner of the placemat using fabric glue.



Next, I created matching napkin rings. I started by cutting three of the medium stars from the Basic Star die (two of the same color, one different), then cut one of them with the Embroidered Snowy Star Details and stitched the details (not the borders). Once that was done, I used a rectangle piece from the Just Write die set to secure the napkin ring in place.  You can find wood rings at your local craft store in the wood section. I stitched the strip to the back of the remaining solid star.  Here is a photo to show placement.



After I had stitched the ring in place, I stitched the stars together along the perimeter to finish them off.



Here is a photo of the complete ensemble showing all of my projects so far this month including the wine glass charms, drink coasters and today's placemats and napkins.



What a beautiful ensemble you have created, Susana!  Such a lovely way to decorate for the holiday season, and I love that these could be created using many different color schemes to match your holiday decor!  We can't wait to see what you have to share with us next week!  Thank you all for sharing part of your day with us.  Be sure to stop by again next week for another fabulous project by Susana! Have a great day! :)
