I’ve dipped into my fabric stash again. This time for Mug Rugs. “What is a Mug Rug?”, you might ask.
Think of it as a large quilted coaster for your desk, big enough for a cuppa somethin’ and a snack. I thought they would be great Valentine’s Day gifts for my family and also a wonderful way to practice my beginner quilting skills! Some Mug Rugs can be quite intricate, but mine are pretty basic! 😉
The red and black pin wheel is for Handsome Husband. The fabric was already in my Craft Room and I modified This Pattern from The Enchanting Rose.
I really love the vibrant colors chosen for our daughter!
This one has the quilting running three different directions, beginning with diagonal in the center panel. I drew the first line using children’s chalk. Maybe someday, my skills will warrant more tools? 😉
Again, the fabrics are from my stash, and I found this Basic Pattern from The Curious Quilter and modified the measurements just a bit. During photo edits, it occurred to me a graphic might look cool. ‘Something like this!
I’m almost finished with the mug rug for my sister. Here’s a sneak peek!
Visit again in a few days to see it finished! Oh, and did I mention I’ll be co-hosting a Handmade Card link party beginning January 31? I hope you can come back for that, too! 😉
