Recently i was in a round mug rug swap which was a lot of fun! in the course of it, i met Lynnie25 and we made a deal to swap anything but square mug rugs. abdconsultant also asked for a mug rug, and as i was in full blown mug rug mode, how could i refuse! here are a few of the mug rugs i made and i hope you will enjoy seeing them! i have a tendency to go outside the box !:D[ATTACH=CONFIG]340671[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340672[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340673[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340674[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340675[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340676[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340677[/ATTACH]

maybe i should open the fish here so you can see it better. we'll see, maybe it is meant to be small![ATTACH=CONFIG]340678[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340679[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340680[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]340681[/ATTACH]i hope lynnie25 will post her mug rugs , too! they are awfully cute!!

Those are awesome
 
That fish is especially creative, but the rest are wonderful too. I think the starfish looks fairly realistic.

Great work and so much fun to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee or lemonade!

nancia 06-08-2012 01:14 PM

thank you! the fish was fun to 'engineer' and i wasn't sure whether or not it was going to work. i'm pleased that it did!

mmmm, lemonade sounds great!!:o

Very Cute~ Now I am going to have to try and make a Mug Rug, I love the name! I think one for my granddaughter would be cool, with some Dora the explorer fabric, her hero these days!

QuiltnNan 06-08-2012 02:52 PM

i think that fish is just the best! so creative!

Carron 06-08-2012 03:02 PM

Cute idea, nice work.

joysewer 06-08-2012 03:23 PM

Very cute!!! Love the fish!

QUILTNMO 06-08-2012 03:30 PM

Cindy60545 06-08-2012 03:31 PM

WOW! You can send them my way! I have a nautical kitchen! Patterns PLEASE!!!!

madelinkk 06-08-2012 03:36 PM

I see a book in your future.

nancia 06-08-2012 03:39 PM

the other ones i made for the swap were lunch (pizza), snack (cake and cookies) and dinner (fried chicken, mashed potato and green beans). i was hungry when i was done! cindy-- i can easily do the star fish and seahorse and octopus, but i'd have to start new on the fish! i made a different, flat fish for lynnie25, so i had fish on the brain, i guess.

EvelynJ 06-08-2012 05:43 PM

I love them, absolutely love them all. The fish is so cute, and the colors cheerful!

Rock Lady 06-08-2012 06:14 PM

How neat! Those are so quite and very unique.

piepatch 06-09-2012 01:30 AM

I would say you definitely went outside the box, and what unique and creative mug rugs you made! I like them all, especially the fish.............nice job.

jad1044 06-09-2012 03:48 AM

VEry pretty and well done! I love them all.

hooked 06-09-2012 03:56 AM

Great mug rugs. I love all of them.

Krystyna 06-09-2012 04:39 AM

I thought the bacon and eggs was my favorite until I saw the fish! Adorable! Is there a pattern for it?

lenette 06-09-2012 04:47 AM

All very creative! But the breakfast one makes me hungry!

Blinkokr 06-09-2012 05:45 AM

Have a Blessed day

Love them all!!! I'm currently working on 8 mug rugs for an exchange with my online quilting group. Yours are sooo adorable!!

SouthPStitches 06-09-2012 01:45 PM

I love them all, but especially the breakfast plate with the fabric eggs, toast w/ butter pat, and bacon. So creative and original.

Kathy T. 06-09-2012 03:53 PM

Don't go back into the box! You're doing great out of it ...

nancia 06-09-2012 05:56 PM

sewgull 06-09-2012 06:01 PM

They are so cute.

grammysharon 06-09-2012 06:22 PM

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snownannie 06-09-2012 07:18 PM

Really cute!!!!!!

Just love them all, especially the breakfast one. My husband had a brain surgery to remove a bloodcloth last July and he was 4 days in the icu before the operation. He was not allowed to eat but nevertheless he requested bacon and eggs. The head nurse came with a tray of only liquid food but she had made a drawing of bacon, eggs and toasts. It was really funny. I never thought of making a funny mug rug to boost his moral at that time as the situation was kind of very stressful. He's doing great today thanks to a wonderful team of dedicated doctors and nurses

nancia 06-10-2012 06:44 AM

bourvel-- i'm so glad your husband is doing well now! went through a rough time with my dh so i can truly empathize. if i'd known about it i would have gladly made 'breakfast' for him.:) hugs and hope everything continues getting better and better!

thank you for the kind words and compliments! i really love designing things.

the patterns are all in my head. i would mail it to you, but i'm still using it. LOL:D, sometimes, anyway.

kd7kyo 06-13-2012 12:32 PM

that is really adorbale!!! I would love to make a lot of them for work.. WE are doing this fish thing at work. I know that a lot of them drink coffee!!! What is the size of the fish or fabric that you working with?

nancia 06-13-2012 01:43 PM

thank you. the wrap-around fish was made with scraps that fit the size of the mug. the base is a 9" circle. have fun making them! each one will be different!

ediedarlene 06-15-2012 09:08 AM

LOVE the breakfast one!!! Too cute, all of them!! You did a great job.
