More Mug Rugs

A friend of mine placed a custom order for some mug rugs to match her tea cups for a tea party she wants to have. I haven't seen her cups in person but she requested blues, yellows and white. I made her these eight:

Then she loved the mug rugs that I made previously of the trees and requested four of those for her family room. So, here are those:

I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving (well, those of you that live in the States, that is!) And  everyone else, have a nice week. We are headed to Disneyland tomorrow for the rest of the week and I'm so excited! (even though I was just there in June.) I've never been during their Christmastime decorations and I'm super excited for it! 

Mug Rugs

Here's the other mug rugs I made. I tell ya, these are quite addicting! They are so fun because they don't take much time and you an try new stuff on a smaller scale. I've never really done applique, so this was a bit of trial and error. I realized you can use fusible web. Duhh!! I realized if you fusible web the whole thing, when it's done it's like a piece of cardboard. Oops!  (and it was heat n' bond lite!) I have no clue what I'm doing. Even with all my screw ups I still think they turned out sorta cute! Top 2 went to Crystal and the other 2 went to my BFF.

I've been bitten....

.....by the "Mug Rug Bug"! Have you?

 

What is a mug rug you ask? Answer: A mug rug is an oversized coaster for your mug or glass or cup and has room for a cookie on the side!

These are so fun to make because they are so small! I have more of them to show, but you have to wait..they are going to a couple friends that might visit here every so often! 

This one was my first practice one and I screwed up on my binding, so I'm keeping this one. Obviously, it's made with some of my vintage sheets scraps.
