Café Brun Coasters are my latest attempt at 'crowing'…
(crochet & sewing)
Crowing…again?
Yes,
I am suffering from OCD …(Ongoing Crowing Delight).
A condition not helped by the fact that I am
coaster-less.
I don't get it,
I have cocktail umbrellas, a bean slicer thingie
and a fondue set,
but no coasters.
To remedy the situation,
I copied
the basic workings of the
Kaffe Fusion Blanket.
i.e.
2x 5'"charm squares sewn together…
(wrong sides together & turned out)
with a line of
blanket stitch
around the edge for the crochet.
I had every intention
of sewing the crochet motif to the fabric square
but I forgot.
(a common symptom of OCD).
So to attach the crochet motifs, I used
Helmar
'Wash'n Wear'
Glue.
How practical that is I don't know, I guess I just have to wait and see.
If you were wondering about the crochet motif…
You are right,
you have seen it before.
It's from Edie Eckman's
lovely book
'Beyond the Square'
(motif 93).
So there you have it…my easy peasy
Café Brun Coasters.
Cake anyone?

Beauties, these coasters! I can see this crowing growing! I love it!
Yes please – a chocolate cake, with lots of chocolate fudge and goo! Love the coasters. Will place mats be appearing soon?
Mmmm chocolate fudge cake (yum)…you read my mind, I was thinking of making some placemats 😀

I know! Who would have thought crowing could be so much fun (& useful).

Looks great, Heidi!
The shell pattern on my blog is from the Happy Hooker and it’s the pattern for the sweet pea shawl which is also available on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sweet-pea-shawl
Hoping mine looks this good when it’s been blocked!!
Your crowing is awesome, those colours are gorgeous perfect coasters I think. Your home must surely be complete!
Yes, please. A bit of cake, coffee, and a side of lovely coaster please.
Those came out lovely!
Brilliant – Thank you Fiona!
