Two Mug Rugs I recently finished for a swap.
 

Recently I participated in a mug rug swap and these are the two mug rugs I made for my partner. I had a lot of fun added embellishments. However, the most fun was fussy cutting the kitty lurking behind the little birdie. The patterns for these mug rugs came from thePatchSmith.

Very creative!

Cute mug rugs Linda! )

they are adorable!

Beautiful! So cute!

Very cute and creative.

Really cute!!!

Those are SO cute! Did you do the applique on the machine or by hand?

Oh wow! I went to her web site and her patterns are darling. Your little bird with the cat behind it is a very creative version of her pattern. Would love to see the ones you got in the swap!

Just too darn cute!

Wonderful. you always do wonderful work. I think they are so so so cute. Have a blessed day Linda.

That is very cute.

Very cute, unique.

These are done with fusible, raw edge applique. Then, I did a blanket stitch with my machine. My fingers don't like handwork even though I love doing it. It's that age thingie...:D:D:D ...if ya know what I mean.

I have never made one, but won't the buttons make a cup uneven?

I live your mug rugs. I am, at present , in the process of making 8 mug rugs from her pattern of the bee hive. These are so much fun and great to work on between larger projects..

CUTE CUTE CUTE , i want one :)

Yes, if you set your mug on the buttons it would make it uneven. However, there is plenty of room to set it aside from the buttons. I just found it too cute to resist using those buttons and the beads in my collection. Maybe that mug rug will have to be for decoration.

Those are darling, and especially your take on the birdie and kitty.

Very creative. I see a happy recipient.
peace

fantastic designs
