So I did this. Using Heat & Bond Ultra and beautiful fabric from my collection I created these. Being an embroiderer there was no question that I had to add a monogram. They made my desk top a happy place now. But of course I couldn't stop there. Once I noticed the totally ugly promotional design was ghosting through I went on a mission to find some plain white ones and create some for family and friends. Then I thought well what the heck else would be a nice complement sitting near the computer and I remembered that I had this in the hoop round coaster design. I found the design ages ag...
