I enjoy the challenge of making something up as I go along.
Melody had a link to this pattern on her blog.
I was gifted the cotton after showing a family member the pattern. They had a friend who loves nothing better than sharing her stash. I have been the recipient of some lovely crafty items from this lady before. I received two balls of this lovely cotton that is made in Australia. It was so lovely to crochet with. I ended up making 8 of these coasters. 4 for us here at Kainga and 4 are wrapped up for Ainsley and Julian. I didn't worry about doing the embroidery on them. I did add a extra row before doing the finishing round as I wanted them a little bigger.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's.
Happy days.

ReplyDeleteI adore your new sewing box! Such a great way to use a lovely cross stitch design. I've made those coasters before using a pattern from the Purl Bee blog. Very fun project.

ReplyDeleteGreat when you score good bargains.... the box is great... can never have enough storage items? The coasters are lovely in cotton and I imagine they will wash well too (if needed!)

I do love rummaging in charity shops - have made some good purchases over the years. Sadly they are few and far between here in France - which makes them extra special when visiting UK. xx
