thank you, ube! i really like designing things . i used to put 3D on doll quilts and then it seemed like everyone was doing 3D on quilts. so, i moved on and developed a way to make 3D mug rugs (hugs). one of the quilters in the mug rug swap came up with the name mug hug and i just love it! wished i'd thought of it myself because it is so perfect. anyway, my first ecfforts are in the archives, i guess, under" some fun mug rugs." we were challenged to do round, and then lynnie025 and i challenged each other for any shape not round. the dinner plate represents actually a group of 4 mug rugs. b'fast, lunch. dinner. sweet snack. i sent them off without getting pictures of them all. typical of me! the star fish, octopus and seahorse, were joined by a flounder and were sent to lynnie. right now i have a cup and saucer on a mat, and i made a blue russian, zoey with a string of pearls and an insanely long tail. i have some other designs floating around in my brain, lol.
