I Know....

..it's early for the C word but I want to get a head start on some gifts...These placemats and coasters are quick and easy to make...

You can use up all those small scraps..

You may remember this little tutorial making the coasters using old CDs..(the only useful thing I've found to do with them..)

Well I've tweaked it a bit....instead of using bias binding to edge the coaster I cut a bias strip 21/4inches wide, ironed it in half and using a zipper foot stitched that around the edge, folded it over the raw edge and hand stitched it to  to the reverse.... just the same as you you would bind a quilt...
