I had lots of fun cross stitching a couple more freebie designs recently. Two partner designs, with two naughty partners in crime, by Sylvia and called “Der Dieb” and “Der Dieb 2”. Der Dieb being German for “the thief”.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to finish these two designs until the stitching was done, and then it came to me. Two little coasters! Which then winged their way to NanaCathy and Mr E (because I don’t see why husbands of crafters shouldn’t celebrate an un-birthday from time to time!).
I didn’t send the matching mugs & spoons (sorry Cathy lol) but I did make them in two different colours, being inspired by the cross stitched border on each.
They were very quick & simple to make. Two 5” squares of patchwork fabric for each, and a square of wadding.
I went for contrasting print fabric on the back.
Hopefully these will come in useful to protect wooden furniture from either hot mugs or from cool glasses, with condensation dripping down. As to which one is for Cathy and which one is for Mr E . . . I’ll let them decide.
So cute!!!
They will enjoy those!!!
We were so thrilled to receive our happy post, really cheered us up. Mine is the rabbit! Thank you so very much indeed.xx
you’re more than welcome ^^
Lovely! And I see Cathy chose the one I guessed she would. They’re very cute indeed 🙂
How cute!! I especially like the little masked bunny❤️. I am sure they will smile as they use them😊
i would have to use them upside down Claire – I would be worried about coffee dribbles spoiling the cross stitch you had done so beautifully.
but if they do that, they’ll never see the cross stitch lol
I agree with stitchingranny, they are too cute to spoil with coffee dribbles!
Claire they are adorable, and snap we have the exact same mugs, only mine are plain red with those ceramic spoons.

Love your cross-stitching projects.
I saw these were well received by Cathy. I love those cheeky little bandit creatures with their eye masks.
The cutest thieves ever 🙂

They’re so cute! I love that they have coordinating mugs as well
