5 out of 5 starsLiked the instructions. It gave me insight as to whether or not I would be able to do & enjoy that type of stitching.

5 out of 5 starsVery good pattern, with lots of photos that describe the process in making these coasters. Her directions are clear and easy to follow. I have admired this item for a long time and now I have the pattern! I will find the fabrics I want to use, because I think the fabric selection for these coasters is what makes them so special.
