I made this mug rug for the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap on Flickr. This group is entirely to blame for my mug rug addiction!
My mug rug was inspired by this awesome pincushion, and I used this free template for the design with Heat-n-Bond Lite. It was easier than I expected!
And here's a little sneak peek of a project I'm working on for someone on my Christmas list -
Fabric: Pure by Sweetwater
Block tutorial: found here in the Moda Bake Shop
How's your holiday sewing going? I'm way behind, as usual, because I'm a procrastinator! I like to think that I work better under pressure :-)
Happy sewing!
Mary
pretty, pretty! i think a quilt, pillow, and stocking for syd is going to be it for me and holiday sewing this year!
ReplyDeleteI love your mug rug!!!
ReplyDeleteThat mug rug is fantastic! I really need to try that design one of these days. I love your Pure block too. So cute. I have way too many things on my to-make-for-Christmas list. I hope I can work well under pressure too.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Mary! I hope I work well under pressure...it seems my work ethic is not keeping up with my grand ideas. But we do have a little more than a month....
ReplyDeletePretty!! I love it all!
ReplyDeleteyour mug rug is beautiful, applique is so the way to go, no need for turn needle! I am always impressed by your quilting idea, parallel rows with 2 different witdhs, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've finally finished my contact work, so now I can start working on Christmas!! Woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your stuff is lovely!!
Beautiful mug rug!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the mug rug!!!
ReplyDeleteMy holiday gifts are all made and wrapped... with the exception of two guys who I can never figure out what I can make for them. I figured I had to have it all done early with a newborn around.
ooooh! I like the white stars with the prints surrounding it! Great idea! I love your work.
ReplyDeleteRemember that time we talked about meeting up in Wilmington? yeah, Maybe in a few more weeks? I need to go to Costco...
