Autumn Doily Coasters and The Lilla Rose Winner

A happy and good day to you,

sweet friends!

I trust you are well. . .

Last week Hannah and I hosted a Lilla Rose giveaway

and as promised I will announce the winner today. . .

at the end of the post {{smiles}}

Right now I have some charming little coasters

I want to show you.

They are easy peasy to make 

and they add some extra sweetness to the coffee table.

A few things you will need to whip up these coasters:

fabric or precut 5-inch charm squares

batting or fusible fleece

buttons {optional}

vintage doilies

I found this lovely vintage table runner at an antique store

and I have been cutting out the pretty little doily flowers for projects.

If you are using scrap fabric you will want to cut it into 5-inch squares

and of course you will need two squares for each coaster.

I used fusible fleece which I ironed onto the backside of one square.

If you are don't have fusible fleece than no worries,

just use quilt batting.

Pin the doily onto the top side of one square

and sew into place.

Now place the second square face down 

onto the other square with the doily.

Pin into place and sew along the edges with a 1/4-inch seam allowance.

Leave a small opening to turn the coaster right side out.

Once you have pulled it right side out

simply iron the coaster and top stitch along the edges.

This will take care of the small opening.

For the finishing touch I added some buttons.

I sewed them on last because I wanted them close to the edge of the coaster

so that the drinking glasses did not rest on them.

And that's it, my friends.

Some pretty and charming, but easy peasy doily coasters.

They are the perfect size for holding drinking glasses

and as you can see the little doily is also just the right size.

Whip some up for friends and family during the holiday season.

Tie some lovely little ribbon around the coasters

and voila!

A sweet handmade gift.

If sewing isn't your thing or you simply don't have time

please know that I have a couple coaster sets available in my Etsy shop.

Now without further ado. . .
