Just new in the shop is this crazy new fabric called "Chalkcloth". I came across this neat idea making into a tablerunner. I didn't take a picture of the one I made and used at our Christmas Party recently but it was a real hit. You can write on it what the dishes you are serving are, wipe it off and use it for the next party. To make the tablerunner I cut a piece of fabric just large enough to back it and fold the edges over to the front and sew. Very fast and easy!
I made some placemats with it for the grandsons. Give them a piece of chalk and that should keep them busy while supper is being made. There are lots of other neat ideas---aprons, calendars,etc.
Let me know what you would make and I will randomly select a winner and send a 56" x 15" piece of chalkcloth to you. (enough to make the tablerunner). Winner will be picked Wednesday, Dec.28,2011.
Chalkcloth comes 48" wide and sells for $10.00 a yard.
