A while back, I had started a series of 4 different bargello coasters, all designed by Brenda Day. These projects and more can be found in her book called "Bargello: A fresh approach to florentine embroidery". I was thinking today that with all the different projects that I am currently working on these days that it may very well take a while before I get to the other two coasters and I really do not want to wait that long before having the pleasure to use them on a daily basis, so I looked at Brenda's finishing instructions and finished them both this afternoon.
.
The plastic coasters used are called "Fabric Flair Craft Coasters" and they are very well constructed so I am not concerned at all about using them daily. I will just need to wipe them clean after usage and the way that they are made I can't see how any spills over the top of those coasters could possibly be able to affect the stitching inside and stain it.

Just went downstairs a minute ago with both of them in hand and asked my husband which one of the two he wanted for himself and as I thought he picked the one on the right :-)

WOW another finish you are certainly on a roll, its funny the way we know which our other half will choose instantly whereas they dither and hum and are often reluctant to comment on which one they think we prefer just in case they get it wrong.
Hi Terry,
Yes, I am on a roll and the finishing pile is getting smaller and smaller :-)

Very nice! Also like the name tag!
Great minds think alike - I just stitched the left hand one too, twice! But I finished mine as something completely different. Love your coasters!
These are very nice!
I love to stitch practical items, just not stuff to put on my walls or pillows.
