Mug Rug Central
After finishing my last quilt, I decided that I needed to work on something just a wee bit less massive. So I decided to start making some Mug Rug/Trivets for Christmas gifts. So this is my first attempt at a Mug Rug.
I used a layer of Insul-Bright and a layer of Warm and White batting. I was thinking that it could be used as a trivet, if the recipient preferred.
I figured I get a mug at the dollar store and make some peanut brittle or fudge to go with this for Christmas presents. I think that works.
Color Me Quilty!

Nice! The pebbled X reminds me of one of those sea shells that are big and round (I so dont even know what they are called - so bad, google couldn't help me).
ReplyDeleteI dont know about the size, we just toss our glasses and mugs all over the furniture here. :)
Wow - your quilting is amazing!!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Everyone loves pretty tea and coffee or kitchen things. Your compact quilting is a fabulous feature.

ReplyDeleteLove this mug rug/ trivet. I think it's a fantastic idea for a gift. I was thinking the same thing a few days ago, and I really need to get busy!
Love your quilting, especially in the orange and red sections. I thought the exact same things as potential gifts -- an inexpensive mug to coordinate with a pretty mug rug.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mug rug! So beautiful quilted! I love this!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat! Your mug rug is beautiful. Love the free motion quilting!
