FROM THE DESIGNER Hi, my name is Ira. I’m a Canadian fiber artist, pattern designer, and author. I designed this pattern with a heart full of sorrow and desiring to support the people of Ukraine, a beautiful country where I was born. As a Ukrainian symbol of identity, sunflowers indicate the power of sun, prosperity, well-being and peace. I hope you will enjoy making these coasters.
