Lessa those coasters are lovely - what fabric did you use for them, I really like the contrast between the threads and the fabric (but it could just be a trick of the light!).

Amanda, I can't really claim any brilliant discovery - I just used Mabel's recommended 25ct lugana in antique white and white. Contrast is all down to Mabel's lovely colours choices :D

Here's a completed round the clock

I just used ordinary perle #5 in blanc and B5200 rather than the blingy version Mabel specified as the ordinary was what I had to hand.

I've now run out of distinct patterns from the round dozen, so working out some mix and match tweaks to give four slightly different coasters for my last set.

The last set of coasters finally! I've nicknamed these ones Round the Bend :lol: Anyone who has the charts will probably figure out why as in a moment of madness I decided to mix up the speciality stitches round the borders, the satin stitch motifs and the filling stitches from across the round dozen, as well as mixing the colours up as I went along. It did create a few counting headaches, but am quite pleased with them.
