OMG for August

My goal this month was to turn these fabrics into coasters for gifts for friends at Christmas - that is assuming that we can get together for Christmas this year.      When choosing fabrics I thought about the couples that would be receiving them and their likes and interests.  

  
You can see below the fabrics now look like this.  

One couple like their tea and coffee so they are getting the red coasters with tea and coffee pots on them.    Next comes the cake loving couple.   Another couple are wine drinkers - she likes white and he likes red so both tastes are covered.   My cat loving friend and her husband obviously get cats and the last couple on my list for coasters like drinks and nibbles.  All that remains to do now is to wrap them up.

You can head on over to Patty's blog to see some amazing finishes.  

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

What a great gift idea, Karen! I love how much care you put into selecting the perfect fabric for each of your friends. How do you make these? Is there some kind of batting or felt between the cotton layers?

I did coasters one year as my adult gifts. They were well received and still being used.
