I even got the Clover Iron cos it made the job soooo much easier :o) 
... I studied the book which was very well illustrated, even if the text was in Japanese, no problem, the pictures pretty much told the story (I really love this book)!!! You weave strips of fabric and end up with wonderful patterns - beautiful stuff :o)!!
Now I bet you're thinking I'm gonna tell you I wasted my money and it was impossible to replicate what the demonstrator was showing me .... well you're wrong. I laid it all out and I studied the book and I actually made something with this fabulous bundle. Not a waste of money after all.Oh no, not at all LOL ......... I made THIS :o) ..................
He he he ..... aren't you proud of me LOL??? I have my very own drink coaster ... and I use it all the time!!!!! It's not a new finish, I made it ages ago so it's not going on my "finished projects" list on the sidebar ;o), I just thought you might like to see it. It's a massive 3 1/2" wide and pretty much the only thing I've made so far from all this loverly stuff. But I love it - I just wish I could find the time to make more, it really is fun once you get the hang of it :o).

Look what I got!!!!
and my very bestest favourite .........
I love this Tilda book A LOT!!! There's loads of things I want to make in it .... aren't these ladies just adorable??!!!? .....
... in the book they're called 'witches', but I think they're much too pretty!!! ... And knowing how I love chickens, these are DEFINITELY on the "to do" list!!!!
They are so cute :o)!!!!

Joy, I love your coaster. If you love it that is all that matters. Money wasn't wasted. (grin) Looks like you got some great books. If you love chickens, you should check out the project I am getting ready to start. It is a rooster wall hanging. Hope I can figure it out. Winona
