I love Raymond Crawford’s designs. This is the fourth(!) set of stitch guides I’m wokring on for him and the second set of coasters.
This set is so fun. Each coaster has a drink word (Drink! Sip! Slurp! Gulp!) and each uses a different kind of shape, either in cool or hot colors.
Sip & Gulp are in warm color. Sip has stripes, Gulp rectangles.
Drink and Gulp are in cool colors. Drink is as you see above, Gulp has circles.
Each colored box on each coaster is using a different stitch and there are four different backgrounds stitches as well.
Several of the stitches are brand new (I designed them) and there is also a wealth of threads used. This means that besides being a delightful stitch guide, the book will make a great reference guide. I’m especially excited about all the different ways to deal with circles, a problem I always have.
I have had so much fun stitching them, I can’t wait to do more. I’ll post Gulp sometime after I start it.
The book ought to be available for your shop to order (from Raymond) sometime over the summer — I’m hoping for TNNA next month.
