It's always tea time at my house. I wake up with tea, drink tea throughout the day, and have a tea before retiring for the night. If I'm having a good day, tea makes it even brighter. If I'm having a bad day, tea makes it all better ;)
When I recently needed a few small gifts for an exchange with like-minded ladies, I decided to make it all about tea. I made these little coasters, and since I think everyone has received them now, I figured it's safe to show them ...
The idea isn't my own, but from Pinterest, here, and slightly modified. The original version was actually a zippered tea pouch. I simplified it to be just a coaster. I made identical fronts and backs, stitched these together and then machine quilted around towards the centre. They were lots of fun to make with pretty bits of scrap fabric I had lingering in my cupboard.
The felt hearts were embroidered around the edge and attached with a bit of thread. All in all, I think they turned out well and looked so cute all lined up together.
Thanks for stopping by!

It looks as if you had oodles of fun stitching these coasters, Wendy. Love all the different scrappy fabrics. I love them. Anytime is a good time for a cup of tea, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these! I made a few but didn't put a little heart on mine! This gives them the perfect detail! I need to make hearts now! heehee! Sweet hugs, Diane
