Coordinated Ladybug and Polka Dot Kitchen Linens Set

This is a coordinated set of kitchen linens, likely handmade or custom-made, featuring a vibrant ladybug and polka dot theme. The set appears to include a quilted table runner, at least two quilted placemats, two quilted potholders, and two matching kitchen towels. The primary colors are a bright yellow, deep red, and black. The central fabric pattern on the placemats and runner is a cheerful yellow background adorned with red and black ladybugs interspersed with small white and yellow flowers, and swirling black lines. This fabric is bordered by a dark red fabric with small black polka dots, which also forms the backing and possibly the binding of the quilted items. The quilting is visible, suggesting a padded structure for the placemats, runner, and potholders, providing heat resistance and durability. The potholders are square with a loop for hanging, made from the polka dot fabric. The two kitchen towels are a solid bright red terry cloth, coordinating with the red in the patterned fabrics. All pieces appear to be made from cotton or a cotton blend fabric. The edges of the quilted items exhibit neat stitching, indicating good craftsmanship, likely machine-sewn. There are no visible condition issues such as tears, stains, or significant wear, suggesting the set is either new, gently used, or well-maintained. Given the distinct fabric patterns and coordinated design, this set evokes a country or whimsical kitchen aesthetic. The lack of commercial branding or tags points towards a handmade or small-batch production. The estimated age would be relatively modern, perhaps from the last 10-20 years, consistent with contemporary fabric choices and quilting styles.
