Sprite Stitch Board!

Don't know where I got the idea for this, but I know I needed a cool coaster, so I made this:
I know I'm terrible at French knots, but I really like how the top one turned out... the bottom one, not so much...

Here's the pattern if anyone would like to make it:

Haha, nice! I love doing coasters and that's a very good-looking one, as well as a great design in it.

very cool, have saved the pattern so hopefully will find the time to stitch it!

That's so awesome! I'm still pretty naive about all the things you can do with a finished cross stitch so I'm wondering, how the heck did you make a coaster out of it?

I was about to ask the same thing. Can you buy those clear coasters at Michaels or Joanns? Just about everyone I know drinks coffee so that would be a cool idea as gifts.

Here's a link to where you can buy the coaster: http://yarntree.com/cross-stitch/index. ... cts_id=573

I recommend buying a 3" hoop, as that is the dimensions of this particular coaster. You create a design, do it within the boundaries of your coasters size, and squeeze it between the cork board and the acrylic coaster, and you have your own coffee coaster!

I did this particular pattern on 18 count, if you wanted to tinker with your own designs for a 3" round 18 count pattern, here's the template I used for the coaster:
