Hello Zelmarq. The coasters are lovely. I bet it took some time to make those, too. My grandmother crocheted lots of doilies when I was little. I remember she crocheted Parasol Girls and framed them. I have them in storage at my sister's house. You do nice work!

Wow, i thank you for the compliment, yes it took a few minutes to finish one maybe 30 to 45 minutes. The one who ordered ordered another set of coasters with another color.

The coasters are very nice... you can start you own small business with that... if you live near me... i would surely order a couple dozen... i will give away some as gifts to friends and relatives during christmas... you can to them in different colors... and you should make a catalogue so that people can choose the color and design they want... good job...

Hi Zelmarq! I agree with you, a beautiful and complex creation like this will definitely be made with love and patience. How long does it take you to make the 3 dozens? I really thought that it would consumed a lot of time just to create one. But all your investment of time and handwork really paid up. I could see the big smile and satisfaction on the face of your churchmate upon seeing them. They are gorgeous my friend.

SInce I am already used to doing this kind of project it does not take that much any more. The first model was the most difficult one one coz its the designing period, now its ok coz I can make it.

those are very pretty - but they wouldn't work really well here since our glasses sweat so much they would be soggy before a half hour was up but they are really cute and remind me of some sleeves my mom had when I was a kid - but yours are much prettier.

I really do think they are lovely, and those glass cozies are one way to make sure that the coaster stays with the glass and never leaves a ring!

I went over and the pictures are lovely. Is your friend giving these away, reselling them, or expecting to have a lot of company all at once? That is a large order.

Yes very much. Its ok as long as its not really a very urgent one coz I still have the freedom of my time, what I dont like is when they rush to finish it coz I know I have to do it double time.

Hi Zelmarq! Those are beautiful creations dear! I do admire the love and patience you have put on those works. I never have the knack for crochet. I tried to learn the craft but never been successful to even make a bracelet. haha..Good work my friend and I am sure you will have many more orders to come. Take care and God bless!

Thank you my friend. Yes, maybe Im that patience enough to learn to crochet. Honestly speaking I just learned to crochet here in our department and since then I just loved to crochet and tried some inventions and this crochet coaster is one of them.
