As we were deep in plans for our house move in January, I stitched up some tiny hexies flowers with the intention of finishing them as coasters for our new lounge.
Rummaging in boxes recently I found the hexie flowers again and finished them into the coasters anyway. We can always use some new ones even if we aren't in a new house.
I love them, especially the little bit of hand quilting I added. Of course, they are Bonnie and Camille favourites, too.
I made two more coasters for our bedside tables just because I have had the pattern bookmarked for ages. It's Sedef Imer's Quilted Coaster Tutorial. They were quick and fun and used up a few more B&C scraps. I made a little change to the tutorial though. Rather than piecing the back of the coaster from two pieces of fabric and leaving a turning gap there, I just used a single fabric on the back and left a couple of inches open on the side of the leaf. I felt it was a little neater overall, and the topstitching around the edge closed everything in again nicely.
No excuses for coffee marks on furniture in our house now!
