More Patchwork
With another swap under my belt, it's time to concentrate on my last one of the holiday season - the Christmas Stocking Swap. I've gone back to my new favorite book
Holiday coasters!
The one thing I wish I had done is used a higher loft batting for these - or at least doubled up what I already had, they need a bit more poof to them, IMHO. Otherwise, these cuties were pretty quick to put together, although I did have some difficulty stuffing the batting inside the coaster pockets. I've bundled them together and topped it off with a holiday mug and a package of hot chocolate. I may keep this gift in mind for teacher gifts - Taylor has enough of them this year!

The coasters look great and would be nice teacher gifts. We stopped giving most teacher gifts when the kids entered multi-teacher levels, though. The teachers can deal with only so many teacher- themed gifts, haha.
(Although, more than one teacher over the years mentioned that gifts of pretty stationary and note cards are good because they write so many thank-you notes and other notes to parents! Even pretty stamps are welcome. It would be fun and easy to make a fabric-covered box or file to enclose such paper gifts, too.
Another teacher loved getting food gifts because she had no time to bake at the holidys for her own gatherings!)
