i heart linen coaster set

Of course I heart linen.  How could you not? (okay, don’t answer that)  I had gotten Rashida’s book a long time ago from our library.  Have I ever mentioned how much I love our library?  I get to request books online then they show up at our local library down the street, my idea of heaven. 
Anyway, I finally got to making the coaster set from the book.  They’re just so cute.  I’ve seen tons of tutorials and just about everyone making coasters and now I know why.  It’s just a quick and fun project that doesn’t have a lot of rules.  Love that.
I used scraps and just pieced my coaster tops however I wanted, easy peasey.  And the little storage tray is just adorable. This one’s going out to a friend of mine, but I think I’ll be making more.  They’d be great hostess or Christmas gifts!

    Those are so pretty. I love the holder. I’ll have to check my library to see if they have any good books. I guess I always assume they won’t have anything current.

    So adorable. I want that holder for coins and junk from my pockets!

  21. Thanks for sharing a great craft idea! I have also seen postings showing coasters, but not one with the holder – that just makes it! Also, thank you for checking my blog out. I hope you will continue to check on me from time to time. 🙂

  22. Laura says:

    These are great. How did you make the little holder?

  23. Delia says:

    I love the spiral quilted one. I am not a quilter but I would like to try these! Do you mind if I ask if there is interfacing in them?

  24. Angela says:

    Those are so cute, such great fabric choices. I’ve been wanting that book for awhile, I may have to put it on the Christmas list. 🙂

  25. Cate says:

    They are the best! I was thinking about placemats, napkins and coasters for my xmas table, but I never would have been crafty enough to come up with such a canny little holder! too clever! xxx

  26. Carla says:

    Those would make a wonderful gift for Christmas! Thanks for the idea and now I’m off to find the book. :oD

  32. Lori says:

    I love, love the coaster set. And I agree with everyone that the holder makes it so special. I see many teacher gifts in my future. I too ran over to Amazon and grabbed it…after a disappointing search at my library 🙁 I’d rather own it anyway. Thanks!
