I got so busy with our guild's holiday Sew Day that I forgot to post last Friday's finish.

| mug rug swap |
We swapped mug rugs at our holiday party. This is the mug rug I made and
Kathryn received. Most of the fabrics are scraps of Kate Spain's Twelve Days of Christmas; the bottom of the mug and the handle are Sweetwater's Countdown to Christmas; the background is Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander. The tutorial I used for the mug rug handle can be found
here.

You can click on our
Orlando MQG's website to see some great projects from that day. The only picture I took (and since I'm in the picture technically I didn't take it) is our group photo showing off our mug rugs. Marge made that fun horse mug rug that will be perfect in Montana! Thanks Marge!

I also whipped up these cute holiday shoelaces using that same Sweetwater fabric line and
Maureen's tutorial. This counts as my Mini Monday project. I have to say these shoelaces are so fun to make AND wear! The bonus feature of this tutorial is feeling like a teenager again!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Monday and happy stitching,
That is one darling mug rug!! I love looking at mug rugs and they are like having a mini-quilt show! Fun shoelaces, I must say. Makes me want to make some for some of my little granddaughters's shoes (do kids use shoelaces anymore, or all they all velcro?)
ReplyDeleteFun post!

ReplyDeleteCute- both the mug rug and your shoe laces! I agree with Elizabeth- mug rugs are mini works of art!
