Of course I heart linen. How could you not? (okay, don’t answer that) I had gotten Rashida’s book a long time ago from our library. Have I ever mentioned how much I love our library? I get to request books online then they show up at our local library down the street, my idea of heaven.
Anyway, I finally got to making the coaster set from the book. They’re just so cute. I’ve seen tons of tutorials and just about everyone making coasters and now I know why. It’s just a quick and fun project that doesn’t have a lot of rules. Love that.
I used scraps and just pieced my coaster tops however I wanted, easy peasey. And the little storage tray is just adorable. This one’s going out to a friend of mine, but I think I’ll be making more. They’d be great hostess or Christmas gifts!
oooo! I loooove that tree fabric 🙂 and the storage tray is super cute! love the color choices!
Love your fabric choices Anna! Your friend will love them!
these are so pretty…and useful, even better!!!
Aw these are so cute! Love the fabric combos!
Darling, Anna. I will have to track that book down at our library.
LOVE IT!!! these would be great quick christmas gifts!!! thanks!!
These came out great! I have this book and now I HAVE to make the coaster set. I love that little holder!
I never knew coasters could look so beautiful!!!
They look great! I’m going to have to check out her book!
What a great colour combo have used – they look wonderful, your friend is very lucky
I love the coasters. I’ve never made any, but this makes me want to…tonight 🙂 Great fabric choice.
Those are so pretty. I love the holder. I’ll have to check my library to see if they have any good books. I guess I always assume they won’t have anything current.
what a great combo! that holder is pretty genius. I must utilize my library more and check out that book.
I just love your blog. Today’s post is especially inspiring. I’ve joined a bee called Lovely Linen Bee and we are starting up in January. I had to post a picture and share your blog (I hope that’s cool with you!). Thank you for all your GREAT ideas and inspiring work. Again, LOVE your blog!

What a great little gift! Lucky friend 🙂
You have a great eye for putting fabrics together, I always love your selections!
I just picked up this book from my library! I need to check out the coaster pattern. Yours are great.
Oh, I love Rashida’s book! Every project in there is sooo gorgeous! And, I love your fabric combo’s too, what a great friend you are!!
XOXO,

So adorable. I want that holder for coins and junk from my pockets!
Thanks for sharing a great craft idea! I have also seen postings showing coasters, but not one with the holder – that just makes it! Also, thank you for checking my blog out. I hope you will continue to check on me from time to time. 🙂
These are great. How did you make the little holder?
I love the spiral quilted one. I am not a quilter but I would like to try these! Do you mind if I ask if there is interfacing in them?
Those are so cute, such great fabric choices. I’ve been wanting that book for awhile, I may have to put it on the Christmas list. 🙂
They are the best! I was thinking about placemats, napkins and coasters for my xmas table, but I never would have been crafty enough to come up with such a canny little holder! too clever! xxx
Those would make a wonderful gift for Christmas! Thanks for the idea and now I’m off to find the book. :oD
so pretty!!
I have been eyeing that book for MONTHS. I finally went on amazon after seeing your post and bought it!
Love them. The tray is great too.
SO Cute. I love linen too. These are super sweet. (I love libraries too. They are the best.)
She does have a lovely blog. And I love the coasters you made! So cute!
i love the colors!
I love, love the coaster set. And I agree with everyone that the holder makes it so special. I see many teacher gifts in my future. I too ran over to Amazon and grabbed it…after a disappointing search at my library 🙁 I’d rather own it anyway. Thanks!
Thos are so awesome. I love them! As a librarian, I LOVE to hear people say they love their library. 🙂
Love the whole thing. I’d like to have a set for myself and make some for gifts. Must get this book!
super cute! I like quick and fun projects 🙂
