Here are a couple of pics of the art cloth coasters I've been doing.
These started as a way to practice my free motion technique last fall before quilting larger projects. I messed around and decided that coasters for my studio would be fun.
I started with cheap felt from Wal-mart fabric closeouts and my scrap bag. Stitched quadrants randomly. Cut them into 4" x 4" squares leaving some small pieces for ATC's. Backed them with fleece laying on the floor from another project and stuck my coffee mug on them...Perfect! A friend visiting the studio saw them and said, you should put those in your Etsy store. OK....sold in one day. Cool.
Just finished a large commission of 20 sets for a friend's daughters wedding for the gift bags. They are a lot of fun to make plus, I get to practice my machine quilting techniques. Win win.
