Bettina Light Green Gingham Embroidered Placemats by Flying Sheep Country - Set of 4

Light Green Gingham Bettina placemats bring a fine check and scalloped silk embroidery to the table. The pale green cotton blend keeps the pattern gentle, framing four plates with a neat round outline rather than a heavy band of color.

“Light green checks appeal to me beside white ceramics because the difference in scale stays clear. One flower color is plenty; the mats already provide the table's quieter pattern.”
-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.
