Ava Pink Embroidered Placemats by Flying Sheep Country - Set of 4

Pink Ava placemats frame four plates with a round cotton-blend panel, white silk embroidery and little dots. The scalloped outline brings softness to the setting, with pink supplying a clear color beneath white or green china.

“My instinct is to let this pink frame show rather than stacking several mats above it. One dinner plate and a folded napkin can be enough when the edge already carries this much detail.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Blot spills promptly. Hand wash in cold water with a detergent intended for delicate fabrics; do not bleach. Support the embroidery while rinsing, then hang to dry. Use a warm iron as needed, pressing from the reverse over a clean towel so the stitched detail is not flattened. Store clean and fully dry, without tightly creasing the embroidered edge.

Maker / Heritage

Flying Sheep Country grew from the Maitland sisters’ British roots and their lives in Westport, Connecticut, and Sydney. Their eye combines the freely growing patterns of Indian block prints with the more defined outlines of European-style embroidery. The block-printed linens are made with hand-carved wooden blocks by Indian artisans, leaving small variations that belong to the process. In the embroidered designs, shaped edges, dotted borders and fan-like scallops give each place its own frame. Even the name holds a private family reference: childhood drives through the Cotswolds, spotting sheep along the country roads.
