tree shape mug rug

Even after making my favorite mug rugs,

I was still left with scraps from my tree skirt.

I wanted to make something different than the same mug rugs,

it gets a little to repetitive to sew and to give 

(and receive, my family can attest of that!)

So I sewed these cute tree shape coasters.

I followed this tutorial from Stitching and Bacon.

I did a good job following the directions for the first one,

but after that I decided it needed more piecing,

but the shape remains the same.

I think it is a great addition to my collection of mug rug.

Time for some more tea!

In case you are wondering, I do have more mugs, even more deer mugs

but there is only one girl reindeer so we are stuck with this one...

I do have to share it with Miss C. who also loves this one,

may be we should get another one,

PB sells them every year...

Happy sewing!
