Linda and Angie
Contact your partner and exchange addresses. Deadline is Aug. 30th
Have fun and post here when you've sent your package and received it.
This is a swap for one trivet and four coasters with partners. They are very easy to make. I have a pattern and I'll post a picture of one I did so you get the idea. Sign-up ends July 15 and due on Aug. 30th!
And, for any who want to add a placemat in place of the trivet that will be okay.
Supplies:
5 different cotton fabrics that in cool and warm colors. Print and solids
pinking sheers
floss
needle
cotton batting
backing material
Cut five circles, starting with the largest working to smallest size. I used a paper plate for the large size and traced it onto freezer paper. Then I used a smaller plate and worked my way down to using lids of different sizes. You want to have a 1 1/2 space between the large and medium size. And a 2 inch space between the medium and two smaller sizes. And finally a 1 1/2 inch space between the two small sizes.
2. Stack the circle face up. Largest to smallest and pin them together.
3. Make a backing by cutting out a cirlce of white fabric that's a little smaller than the largest circle.
4. Starting at the center. Stitch around the edge of each colored circle through all the layers.
5. To make the insulating material, cut a circle of terry cloth that's little smaller than te backing. Center the terry cloth underneath the bottom circle stacked in step 3, and place the backing beneath the terry cloth and stack circles.
6.You can use a running stitch with embroidery floss in a contrasting color or make tiny stitches in the same color as the fabric.

Great BettyJo! And Angelyn, I'll tell Dumplin and get her to finish up yours. We had a Bible convention and she has been leaving the house at 5:30 every morning for the last 3 days. She is exhausted to say the least. I think I'll have to help her finish them if there is any hope of you getting them. lol

Mine is a little different because I did a placemat and 4 square coasters. I originally planned to use hexagons but nixed that idea in favor of English paper piecing.
It's on the way Candy. Hope you like it.
P.S. Thank you for mine. The fabrics are super cute!
