I wanted to combine some embroidery with some quilting.
We needed some placemats for the table. I have a coaster embroidery from Embroidery It that I wanted to make. I made the 4 flower coasters with some summer stash fabrics.
I really like the embroideries from Embroidery It. They are easy enough to make. The stitching actually covers the trimmed edges. And the detail around the satin stitching gives them a wonderful finish.
For the placemats, I found some batiks that had similar colors in them to make them reversible. I watched a YouTube video that was very easy to follow. These placemats were made in 2 hours from start to finish! I couldn't be happier.
If I had more fabric from the coasters, I would have embroidered some of the flowers on the placemats with some appliqued vine stems.
Here are the other bloggers and their post dates for the blog hop. I hope you find a project you want to recreate!

(I used free watercolor daisy clip art from angiemakes and learned a bit more about my Photoshop Elements program when I composed the graphic above.)
For anyone who saw this post in May, I apologize for my earliness, too much going on and trying to rush.

I didn't see it in May, and I very much enjoyed seeing it now. They coasters go very well with your table mats. Thanks for sharing this!
Beautiful coasters and placemats. Your coasters look as if they are made from satin. They are gorgeous. Great inspiration!
Your coasters and placemats are so lovely! What a pretty table setting they make!
Sweet! The coasters and placemats will set a nice table. Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm, this seems familure. Been there done that. 😊 very pretty set.they complement each other well.
A sweet, simple place mat. Thanks for sharing.
I love the idea of a coaster on the placemat. Brilliant idea, Nancy. Thank you for joining Where Flowers Bloom. Love your post again!
a perfect match. Love the flower addition. Makes it so special!
Oh your coasters are so very pretty. I don't know that I'd want to put a red wine glass on them, I'd be so afraid to stain the beautiful flowers. They match up to your coasters very well. Thanks.
That looks like a great tutorial if you can sew 4 placemats in 2 hours! It seems like the last ones I sewed took me forever to make. I am going to check it out. Yours are very lovely and quite useful!
Fun flowery project. Embroidery is always fun to see as I have never done that. 🤭
The coasters are so pretty and look great with the placemats! Your daisy clip art graphic is beautiful.
Love your placemats and floral coasters! Perfect combination! I'm going to have to read up on your earlier post about learning to use your photoshop. I've never learned how to do much with it and those flowers you did are gorgeous!
What a nice combination and so useful too.
Got to love an embroidery machine. ...love the fabric you used for your place matts... happyness04431@yahoo.com
Such pretty coasters! I love the fabrics you chose :) xx
Very pretty embroidered flower coasters ... :) Pat
Your placemats and coasters are perfect for a spring or summer place setting. I marvel at people who can run those embroidery machines. I'm intimidated by them as they look complex. I used to embroider by hand but haven't done that in years and years. My mama can hand embroider so well that it actually looks machine done as it is so perfectly done.
Those are really neat! Embroidery It has some neat designs!
Lovely. I really do like the embroidery and the edge finish looks great. Perfect fit with the placemats.
Beautiful placemats! Your embroidered flower design is just lovely. What a bonus that you completed this in 2 hours!
Thanks for a new idea for placemats. I do love roses. Wish you had a pattern for the rose. quiltyladyrr@gmail.com
Love the placemats, Nancy, so much fun and I to enjoy Embroidery It's designs. I am collecting her free alpha at the moment as I think that is really pretty.
So pretty! I love the colors that you chose for your placemats and coasters. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely coasters and placemats! I enjoy incorporating embroidery and quilting too!
Very pretty! Lovely colors and fabrics!
