a tree coaster or the 2021 mug rug

I love making mug rugs,and I love making little presents for friends,so this is the perfect craft to give away:

no drink in the cup, no risk of spilling!

And I made a lot of them,

for my girlfriends, for the family, for myself....

I followed a tutorial from Minki's Work table (again!)

on her you tube channel,

pretty easy with reverse applique, no raw edges and quilt as you go.

For my first set I used the same fabric I used for 

my sister's Snowy Tree Skirt:

Then I started playing with linen and traditional Christmas colors,

then less traditional colors, then quilting the linen as the tree,

not centering it!

And that one became my favorite!

It goes well with all the red and blue we have at home.

Try making one or ten,

it is a little addicting!

Happy sewing!
