I received a full package from
@StitchinTime. Mug rug, matching coaster, and a cute little EPP kit as a bonus. I've done EEP before, but I've never seen a kit like this; I've only seen large packs of one shape template. This will be fun to complete.
Stitchin', HOW on earth do you manage such tiny piecing!? And those bindings! Barely a 1/4" and they are PERFECT! You have now challenged me to improve my skills. I'm not sure I can bring myself to use it. It may end up as a rug or wall hanging in the doll house I intend to decorate with my granddaughter. It will be safer there than on my coffee table.

All the work shown in this exchange has been lovely! I considered doing the leaf-shaped coasters like Wrenkins and Iminei received. I'm glad I changed my mind. I'd hate to be in direct competition with those creators!
I particularly like the coasters that are machine embroidered with the variegated thread. Those are sharp!
@Pearl and
@Iminei what is the green spiky thing on the bottom-right coaster? I assume it's some type of nut in it's natural form- we have walnuts and pecans here that grow in a similar fashion, but I've never seen a spiky one, and in the US we don't use it as a symbol of fall.
Whoever made
@Sara-S's coasters- the disappearing 9-patch under the cathedral window is very creative! I like the look!
