Mug Rug

I love Mug Rugs!

There is something about them that makes a

cup of tea that much more special.

The Yoyo Mama's are doing a Mug Rug

for the christmas exchange this week.

I have made several and didn't like any of them.

But I finally like one.

So I really hope who ever gets mine

likes it too.

I couldn't get this picture to turn...

oh well you get it...

I always quilt up a yard of a fabric I really like

then I can use it for mug rugs, hot pads and

oven mitts. Makes it easy for a fast gift if I

have some on hand.

When I make these I use the same stuff for the inside

that I use to make hotpads. I can't remember what it is called.

I have been racking my brain to tell you ....

but ...I cant remember.

I buy it at JoAnn's and I am sure if you ask them

for the batting for hotpads they will take you right to it.

Since we are "YoYo Mamas" I had to work in a Yoyo.

This was so fun but I can't believe how much time I spent

trying to decide what kind to make...

I looked at a million (I am sure thats an accurate count)

mugs and cups and I thought I would make one that matches...

Then I thought a strip mug and a polka dot mug rug...

or a floral mug and a strip mug rug....

or a plain mug and a bright mug rug...

see the possibilities.....

then I saw the glass mug....

Goes with everything....YEAH!

then what fabric....oh my Gosh!!!

I will try to get pictures to show you

of the other ones the girls made.
