Mug Rug...

Oh Good Grief!!!!!

No, No, No,

Not the little rug from my kitchen and

my newest, favorite coffee mug...

that's not what I mean!!!!

I'm talking about the Mug Rugs I made today:)

I thought I would start making a mug rug or two each

month, just to see what all the mug rug hoopla is about.

So I went stash diving and found these fabrics.

I thought, "Self these will work for January, yes they will."

Okay, so now I have the fabric...

Next make a design plan.....

Let's see, snowflake fabric, swirly fabric, ummm

it is snowing outside...Yep, you guessed it...

A Snowflake!!!!

So now I applique, and sandwich, and machine quilt.

And this is what I get...



A cute little January Mug Rug :)

Six inches by 9 inches, just the right size for

a mug of my favorite hot drink and a cookie or two!

And about the "Mug Rug Hoopla"... Well, I

understand it now...

They are just way too much Fun to make!!!!

That's why I made two  LOL

And I WILL be making a set for each month;

 and any other reason I can think of. 

There's also a bonus to making Mug Rugs,

it helps to clear out the scrap box:)

Now let's see, 

This little project gives me 

a start & a finish for 2012.

Love & Hugs,

Terry
