Here's another way to make your Christmas holiday coffee, tea, and snack time more fun...it's a cute gingerbread house mini placemat. You'll be able to make your own appliquéd and quilted gingerbread house snack mat / mug rug / coaster with a pocket for a napkin and cutlery (or a snack) with this fun project. The snack mat measures approximately 8 ½” x 12” and you'll even get the directions on how to make the cute little 7" x 7" reversible cloth napkin! Keep it at home to decorate your table, take it to work to make your lunchtime feel even more festive, send it in your child's lunchbox, or use it for a handmade Christmas gift.
