It feels like I’ve not been about for ages. I’ve had the dreaded lurgy this week. I’m back to almost feeling human again though so hoorah!
For Christmas this year I’m hoping to make my Nan a photo memory quilt, I’m really quite excited about it, I’ve not made a quilt before though.
This brings me to my tutorial. I decided to make a simple coaster with batting and quilted it (I think?).
It turned out really well I thought, considering I don’t have a stitch in the ditch foot yet. Only down side to this tutorial is you can see how bad I really am at straight lines.
Find this tutorial here at giraffes can sew.
Shame we don’t really use coasters (we’re heathens I know), perfect stash buster and enjoyable to make. What is your favourite stash busting project? Anyone else out there not use coasters? I seem to be the only one I know who doesn’t! – Maybe I shouldn’t be admitting this….
We have my sons operation this week (if it doesn’t get cancelled again! ) he also has a couple of other appointments in the week. So I may not see you for a week or two.
Have fun and whatever you’re up to I hope the sun shines x
Such a fun way to use up some extra bits of fabric! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at the Talented Tuesday Link Party! 🙂

Aw thank you very much!
I have to admit, it’s never really appealed to me but it was a lot of fun! Will definitely be doing it again.
