Della's Hand-Crocheted Pumpkin Coasters — Set of 8

I nearly talked myself out of these — I already had coasters. They arrived on a Thursday and by Sunday they had taken over the kitchen table. My husband will not use anything else now.

My mother kept one of this woman’s afghans for twenty years. The morning I read about the coasters I ordered two sets — one for me, one for my sister. They are even prettier in person.

It genuinely bothers me that a developer can wipe out thirty-four years of a woman’s work with a phone call. I bought a set so a little of it lives on my table. It does the job, too.

I ordered them for the way they looked. I kept raving about them because they actually work — a glass of ice water sat on one for an hour and the table underneath was bone dry.

Every single visitor picks one up and asks where it came from. My granddaughter has named them all. It is the coziest thing on my table every fall.

We are two counties over from Berea, so this one felt close to home. They live on the porch table now, and they have been rained on twice and still look new.

Eight was exactly right — every glass on the Thanksgiving table had one under it and there was nothing to wipe up afterwards. I am ordering a second set before they are gone.
