Snug as a Mug in a Rug

You all were so generous with your very sweet compliments about my first Mug Rug. I really don't think I have much original creativity. These little Mug Rugs are just too fun and are fast to do.

However, I do have to say that I really like this new Mug Rug. It was so much fun to make. So may I present to you -

Peace on Earth

And yes the cookies are just for staging :-)

So tell me, will you be making any Mug Rugs this Christmas??

May your day be filled with Happy Quilting!

Yes! I've decided to make mug rugs for teacher gifts. I finished my last swap project last night, so will be starting on the mug rugs this weekend. I love your Peace on Earth rug!

What a darling mug rug. I've been making some but now want to try something like this. Very clever design.

I made one last night, just need to finish the binding on it...they are quite the rage. I hope my pay if forward person will like it. I'm sending a mug rug along with two other little goodies!

I want to make a mug rug. Maybe I will take a little time to do just that.

I wish I could make mug rugs for Christmas! It's too late for me to start now but what a great idea for next Christmas! Today's rug is very sweet and looks just like something I would make:) Great job!

I like the Mug Rug you made! And, yes I've been making mug rugs, I've posted a picture of one of them, they are all Christmas gifts!

It's very cute! No mug rugs here - too many irons in the fire.

Cyndi said...

That is precious, Jocelyn. Those mug rugs seem to be the "it" thing right now and I am planning on making a few. I think they would be really nice little gifts paired with a nice mug and a tin of cookies!

XOXO,

Cyndi

So Cute! -- I've never heard of a mug rug, but I'll be making some....Not for Christmas, but definitely for winter birthdays!

Loris said...

Very cute. I also love your mug rug with the yummy oreo cookies. How long did they last after you took the photo? LOL! They would last long with me.

I am not familiar with the Mug Rugs. From the looks of yours, they would be nice to have.

Becky said...

This is great! I think next time I'm playing in my sewing room I might try a mug rug.

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Me thinks you are only making the "mug rugs" so you can justify "eating" the props for the display!!!! I like both of them--you can sent me either one--with cookies in tact--of course!!!
Hugs,Di
