This week with the children returning to school, there is a faint glimmer of hope that maybe,
just maybe there will be more chance of some uninterrupted sewing!
I have signed up for the Fluffy Sheep Goodie Swap, for this swap I have to make a Mug Rug which is totally new to me. Here is my first attempt.
After I had made it, I thought that maybe a white background wasn't the best choice if someone puts their coffee or tea on it:)
The back is a bit more practical -
I printed some Irish town names on Irish linen, frayed the edges a little and appliqued them on to some matching floral fabric.
A little reminder to the recipient of where their Mug Rug came from! Hope she likes it!
Have you made a Mug Rug? Do you use one?
The mug rugs are just sweet!
ReplyDeleteThose balloons are so cute! I wouldn't dare use my gifted MRs - they're much too special to put drippy cups on! I display them so I can admire & appreciate them like pictures! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThe hot air balloon mug rug is adorable!!! I have some mug rugs that never have a cup set on them but they look pretty on the table just the same.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it! Now you've just made me think - one of my mug rugs for the swap is going to have a white background... oh well, I'm sure it'll wash ;o)
