ReplyDeleteWhere can I find the coaster placemats?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer. I made this using sugar and cream cotton. It's a little bit smaller than yours but still pretty. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer for your tutorial. very easy to follow and my placemat came out beautiful! I used Lily Sugar and Cream and it came out not quite as thick but still lays flat, and lots of compliments. Thanks again. (I used pink instead of red)
