I made two two-coaster sets, each with a matching case. One coaster says "Mine" and the other says "Yours." I also made two four-coaster sets that were the same design, only with different words or designs. This is my favorite.
All of these coasters are from the pattern in Amy Karol's Bend-the-Rules Sewing book. I also made a four-coaster set based on the criss-cross coasters tutorial at Allsorts. I wanted to make them round instead of square, so I increased the size (5.5 inches instead of 4.5, I think), then after pinning the layers together I traced a circle on the back and sewed it. Nice and easy.
I made a few things other than coasters as well. You can check them out in the Made by Me set on Flickr if you're so inclined.

I, too love, "I like it a latte" and those shoes are absolutely adorable!
I think you're going to have to teach me to sew when we come to visit you over there. (That is, if my hands aren't all crippled from arthritis by the time we manage to get there!)
All those years I did sewing projects....and now I find out you could have done them yourself....Glad to see you're experimenting..and everything looks great. Mine (the ones in the top left corner) are on my sofa table.
love ya,
MOM
