The tag doesn't show up very well, but gives you an idea of what I do with them.

Looks great!!
Hope you are giving this to someone who will appreciate your work!

What size have you made it?
Thanks!

:thumbup:

Adorable. That's a great idea when giving them as gifts.

Nice gift!

Very nice, I may have to borrow your poem if it's alright with you!

6 X 9. I did two others, but am having a H*&% of a time with binding. I HATE BINDING...

Anyody is welcome to the poem....

Thanks for the sizing!

Think of it as the Mug Rugs being a good way to learn to do binding ... I used to hate it, and now find it quite relaxing and a nice change of pace. After all it's the "crowning glory" of the quilt!

Fallow this tut and you will do fine on bindings. I had A bad time to till I found this . It was posted by someone on here.

Hehe. Probably me. I certainly drank that Kool-Aid.

Very nice. Love the tag.

that is too cute. I just made one for my daughter for her hospital trip. She likes it. Makes her feel more like at home.

Very pretty !! :-D
Love the poem !! :-D

What a great idea! Very nice!

Very cute, binding is the best part of the quilt job nearly finish :)

That is just adorable...what a great idea!

I have made several mug rugs, and a couple of them I just used the sew and turn right side out technique. No binding, quilted a quarter inch or so inside the edge. It looks fine and skips the whole binding thing. Just have to hand stitch the opening closed...... Just an idea to try.

cute

This is the way I do it too. I'm not good at bias tape. I made several for Christmas gifts with a note as to what they were. The non-sewers look at you kind of funny until they find out what to do with them. They are sooo fun to make.

Rannyof3, I love your words may I copy and use them for my rug mugs? Thanks for an answer.

How nice..I love it.
Great for gift giving.

I loved your tag and thought you did a great job on this mug rug. Once you do the binding thing a few times, it will be easy. It is like making a pie...do it every day for two weeks ... and you can do it for life.

Or, you could forget the binding, stitch a bit from the edge, clip like a rag quilt, and have a fuzzy chenille edge.

Same here :thumbup:

Very cute idea.

A question here ...
For the batting are people using regular batting?
Or the special insulated one to avoid heat going thru?

Great idea! I see Christmas gifts for my grandson's teachers. Thanks for sharing.

rannyof3, love your mug rug and the poem.

mtspools, great tute for doing binding, I am going to try it.
Thanks to both of you

Thanks goes to who ever posted it first. you are welcome though. Love the idea of the rag look also.

Change "something" to "sweet" or "meat" and you have a rhyming poem!

Good job :thumbup:

i didn't think there was a "tut" out there that I hadn't seen, but HADN'T SEEN those. THANK YOU. Dang, time to go buy some elmers glue...

Its the first I ever heard of using Elmers glue and OH ITS WONDERFUL :thumbup: :thumbup:
Going to try and use it for applique.

Really nice rugs, I can see the Latte and treat resting on it already.

So cute! Love the poem and the mug rug!

That is such a cute little poem. Thanks for sharing it and your design for the mug rug. I like your fabrics.

Very sweet......love the tag!! If WA wasn't so far away I'd bind for you :D

How clever!!! Really an adorable gift!!!

here's a stupid qestion,,,,,,does a mug rug have the same purpose as a coaster?

very nice. I like the idea of the tag with it. Thanks for sharing.
