I think I need to make up a bunch of these to a) practice my binding and b) have on hand for gifts. They're fun to make because they're so little!

btw the light in the pics is from the sun. I took them outside. I still need to find the ideal spot for that, I guess.

oh so cute, and you are doing great on the binding.

Adorable! You did a great job. Your binding looks pretty darn good to me. I too want to know where to get labels.

Mariposa 10-17-2010 06:26 AM

Very cute! Can you share where you got the labels? :)

mollymct 10-17-2010 06:40 AM

Adorable! I love aqua and red. I may need to make one for myself today...I need to practice binding and this would be the perfect little project! And my mug says it needs a rug!

Cute! If it's about 4x6, you could put a cloth postcard backing on it, and send it through the mail as a little gift. The recipient would get a cute card and a mug rug! Just get it hand stamped.

sharon b 10-17-2010 08:57 AM

Love them !

Did you have a pattern or just make it up yourself ?

JJean 10-17-2010 09:08 AM

Oh I like it! I can picture a mug on it! Very cute! I hope you make more and share pictures! :thumbup:

gale 10-17-2010 09:12 AM

Thanks everyone. I actually made the label from some scraps of fabric. I took a piece about 3" x about 4" or so. Sewed the short ends together and turned it right side out (it was like a tube at this point) and pressed it with the seam going up the center. Then folded it in half with the seam inside and pressed it really well. I trimmed it to the width I wanted after I wrote on it. Then I just sewed it under the binding with the raw edges matching the edge of the quilt. I'm thinking about trying it using the lettering stitches on my machine next time but this time I just hand wrote it with a Copic Multiliner.

I sort of made it up myself but with help. I have this set of stamps that consist of different flower petals. I stamped one on some paper and traced that onto my fusible web for the petals. For the circle I just cut it by hand.
