my studio is overflowing with them as well!
Spring has put me into the mood to create
blossoms and butterflies..................
which inspired me this past week, to make flower coasters
as well as butterfly coasters.
I have always loved the little vintage sets of cocktail coasters that were once used to set a glass upon during parties...............
Wouldn't a set of 6 of these in different colors
be lovely for a spring luncheon?
How about you?
Do you like to use cloth napkins or coasters at your table?
What kind of dishware do you like to use?
I would love to hear!

What a lovely idea. Perfect for afternoon tea on the patio.
My 'special platter' for serving biscuits/cheese etc to guests was painted by my Great Aunt Sylivia (whom I sadly miss). It's pink/cream orchids on a black background.
Butterflies and flowers - my favourites!
The most beautiful coasters ever...what a lovely idea!
Love the flower coasters! We use cloth napkins but I've never embroidered any -- hmmm, maybe I should!
You have your very own indoor butterfly garden! They are gorgeous...even though I'm a firm believer in using everything, these may be just a little too pretty!
What a fun idea, Kathleen! Using cloth coasters would look so pretty.
I embroidered a tablecloth and matching napkins years ago and never use them. Maybe I should get them out.
Using paper is so easy, but there's something to be said about 'yesteryear's' style.

Well I admit we eat usually on a TV tray, but I do use a lot of coasters and have them all over the house. I sew them, do needle felting, quilt them and have embroidered them too.

I'd never thought about making things like this!! In a smaller size they would make great applique pieces for clothing, especially for children.
I like to use heavy plates such as Fiesta ware; I just like the feel of stoneware.
So beautiful! What talent you have!
Those are so beautiful, but I would be constantly worried about things spilling on them! They would be nice for a very special occasion, though!
These are wonderful! I love your creative process too! I like the round coasters for maybe lining a tray of cookies, or in a bread basket, too, if a bit larger than they probably are!
Oh wow! Your coasters are absolutely beautiful and would definitely dress up any table; but they are so pretty, I would be afraid to use them. Have a great week. Tammy
