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)
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter whether we use the same type of yarn you are using or can we use a different yarn?
