I used some fabric scraps from my stash to make these four coasters. These patchwork coasters were made using paper piecing technique. I think this techique is wonderful since even very small pieces of fabric scraps would not be wasted. Isn't it eco- friendly to make the full use of them ?
In Chinese culture, the round shape symbolizes reunion and success.The colour of red symbolizes good luck, prosperity, happiness and wealth. I hope these coasters will bring warm and happy feelings for my visitors in this New Year celebration.
I have an idea. After Chinese New Year, I will attach zippers to the coasters. I would like to turn them into two colourful round pouches . ^0^.
!que bien que hayas vuelto con tantas cosas nuevas!

Happy Chinese New Year, PY, and welcome back to the blogging world!!
ReplyDeleteYour round coasters (or soon-to-be zipper pouches) are just so lovely. It just amazes me how beautifully you attach the bias tapes around each round shape!! I often have hard time stitching any thing in round... I guess I need more practice to be able to sew like you, PY ;)
