You may remember from previous posts that this has been Mug Rug Madness week! Check out what the Flickr Group has been making this week.
I've been wanting to blog about a Mug Rug I made for a very special friend, but couldn't until I'd given it to her today (she's a follower of my blog!).
My friend Sarah of SewMe is having a love affair with the colour purple this year. Check out her amazing cushions and quillow in vibrant purples & greens.
She has also recently taken a shine to paper/foundation piecing, so I thought her Mug Rug had to have these key elements: Purple (a must), green & foundation piecing. So here's what I came up with:
The little house is significant because Sarah is a true homemaker and her house is full of warmth and love. She has been a huge inspiration and encouragement to me.
Enjoy my friend!
Mug Rugs are everywhere! This phenomenon rapidly sweeping across the quilting world has reached Belfast!
I love gift ideas that are a little bit different, and have been seeing a number of mug rugs appear on various international blogs. Check out A Cuppa and a Catchup, Pin, Sew, Press, and I'm Just a Guy Who Quilts has a great wee tutorial on how to make one.
My friend's birthday is this week and as she is an avid coffee drinker, I thought she would love her very own mug rug. As a devoted lover of log cabin, I thought I'd give it a go - and this is what I came up with!
This was so quick to make, I'm definitely hooked! I have a few more birthday presents to make this month - guess what they'll be getting!!!
