Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your appreciation over the years. Just to let you know I have relaunched the Roman Sock Shop and you can now find it at romansock.com.

She loves flowers, and her garden is always a riot of colours! Absolutely stunning!
So these are Mollie Flowers in her honour.
They are also very easy to sew together, I have perfected my technique since the bag and now the flowers sit really proudly and you get the full effect of the puffiness.
This is the first of a coaster set for my summer dining table to bring a little light and life to even the wettest Glasgow summer. I am also thinking about making place mats, although i am a little worried they will get stained – Maybe scotch guard would work?
If anyone is interested I can write up the pattern? I would just love to see what others could do with it? Although you could just whip them up - they are just 6 puff stitches of 6 lengths each in a magic loop with 6 sc
