Modern Meadow Mug Rug Madness!

Prepare your eyes for a feast of Modern Meadow + Linen! I finally sat down and finished handsewing all of the binding. Phew, that takes a while! But you just can't beat the end result.


On this one I went a little crazy . . . those finished squares are only 1/2"!!! I love the look though.




These mug rugs are in my shop, and now I'm back to work finishing up some custom orders!

I hope you had a great weekend! Did you eat tons of candy? I'm trying to pace myself (and my daughter!)

    I finally took the plunge and made a mug rug for myself. I made something similiar to the 1/2 inch squared one but I added a pinwheel. I hope to post soon! My day job just gets in the way. LOL.

    The mug rugs are darling...and bless your heart for working with such small squares. I don't know that I would have the patience to work with squares that small.
    I do have a question for you though. I am looking to make a baby blanket as a gift. I would like to use linen on one side and chenille on the other and use some cotton fabric squares of a bold fabric on the linen side. My question is actually two fold. Do you think the linen would be a good material to use for the baby blanket and should I put batting between that and the chenille or would it be too bulky?

    XOXO,
