yes-gotta use them every now and again.

Woops! I had to do a double-take! At first glance I thought that was a fine white lace. Beautiful! :thumbup:

Ya'all are some mug rug makers!

I saw a way to make hot plate trivets at the International Quilt Show in Houston last year: just make a mug rug, but only close three sides. Slip a ceramic tile inside (you can buy them very inexpensively in many sizes at Home Depot or Lowe's) and it protects your table top, counter, etc.

They make quick, cute gifts, too.

Great Job... I love using up scraps and putting them to good use.

matraina 05-20-2011 12:15 PM

Love them, especially the blue, green, and orange one.

I made 5 mug rugs after I got off the computer this morning. A quiet activity as I recover from pneumonia..

what a neat idea I'll have to pick up some and give that a try with everything I want to do, wonder if I can live to be 100

GrannyHanaDa 05-20-2011 03:47 PM

Very nice. Ideas for Christmas

They are all so cute. I like the way you used your fancy stitches on your machine. I like the orange one best just because it is orange.

These are adorable.

warm and natural in some and soft and bright in some-whatever I had in scraps that would work

These are so adorable. I've only made on and will be making more.

roxie623 05-20-2011 07:21 PM

The orange is my favorite.

GrammaO 05-20-2011 07:50 PM

These are really cute. What great and quick gift ideas.

RobertaMarie 05-20-2011 08:05 PM

Thanks for sharing these neat ideas. Really clever, and a way to use our little scraps. I made hot pads last Christmas like this, so mug rugs sounds like a great idea for our Quilt Show Country Store. I love not having to "bind" them.

JACRN 05-20-2011 08:56 PM

How creative you are. These are great.

The Quiet Quilter 05-20-2011 09:59 PM

Love them all. Guess it's
about time I try to make one.
Nice work. Hugs, Sharon

lol,If I stay off the computer I can get lots done too.

Great mug rugs.

GrannieAnnie 05-21-2011 08:15 PM

A gal at our church bought a BUNCH of fabric at an auction($7 !!) In the goody pile were a few lonesome quilt blocks. I've made mug rugs from a few of them. Also got blocks enough to make maybe 15 table toppers/runners.

Pics later. I'm hand quilting the mug rugs. And I hate hand quilting.

heather1949 05-21-2011 09:02 PM

They all look fantastic.

craftybear 05-21-2011 09:11 PM

I love your mug rugs, thanks for sharing with all of us
