mug rug for Christmas

I am sure you have noticed all the cute mug rugs

popping everywhere....

Well after seeing Mary's rug mugs at Pin. Sew. Press.,

I knew I had to make some too!

They would make a perfect Christmas present....

I totally copied her designs,

I just used Christmas and snow flakes fabric.

The white fabric has white snow flakes, hard to see on the pictures.

It had been such a long time since I quilted,

it was fun, and being so small,

it is almost a one-day project!

The second one is also a copy of Mary's design.

I just like the simplicity.

I mostly do traditional quilting with a lot of complicated pieces,

and sometimes it feels overworked, not inspiring.

I have been looking into modern quilting,

trying to participate but I have found it challenging.

After making these mug rugs,

I feel like I can try to make my own design...

I bet it will take me much longer to make the next one!

Happy quilting!
