I love it, and she will too. I have also made a few and they did not turn out to my liking, But the person that received them sure loved them. We are way to hard on our selves. I personally don't care for the color orange, but that is beautiful

We all strive for that "perfection" but when there's just a little blip, it really makes it cuz it doesn't look like it came from the store. I love this. The little appliques are wonderful.

I love it, your friend will too, so cheerful and happy looking, I can almost hear the birds chirping!

I sure hope you weren't waiting for my comments! <g> And, by now, I am sure you have sent your fine gift to your friend and have received rave reviews.
Had I been reading my digests in a timely manner, I would have told you that your orange mug rug looks absolutely fine to me! The little dip you were worried about didn't look so bad - - I mean, I was expecting a BIG dip, but instead, I am not even sure I saw it. You are being too hard and critical to yourself!
Something I try to remember: A mistake is evidence that someone tried to accomplish something.
As I have learned new skills, I have learned to have patience with myself - - not many of us accomplish perfection on the first attempt, but by learning to correct mistakes, we are actually learning more about our craft/abilities than we could ever learn without having not done so well. Patience, Grasshopper - - time will take all the dips out. <wave>

adorable!!

simple quilter

I agree. Any person worth knowing will look past the wonkiness (which is not really bad, anyway) and see the friendship you poured into your project. If I got a mug rug like this one, I would treasure it.

real cute i like that
