My cousin was the recipient, she is a fabulous quilter but hadn't seen or heard about mug rugs before. As I was in a huge rush to make these I opted for no bias binding. I decided I like the bias binding finish the best as I think it really makes them 'pop' with a contrasting bias edge.

sweet how big are they ?

Seeing your lovely pictures makes me want to go out and buy a coffee mug and start drinking coffee. Thank you for sharing your projects with all of us.

I love the paper pieced guitar. You are so talented. Where can I find that pattern?

Nikki and Co. 07-30-2011 09:16 AM

They are great! I have that fabric, guess what I'll be making with it... :)

Dodee 07-30-2011 09:22 AM

I love these, too. It would be great for more patterns to appear on here to give dummies like me some ideas.

I went online and googled it..

"free paper piecing guitar pattern".

So here are some answers to questions asked.
I used regular lightweight poly batting. I also use one layer of Insulbright to make them as 'functional' as possible.

The Mary E mug rugs are aprox. 6 1/2" x 9"
The Bible verse ones are aprox. 6 1/2" x 12"

I like the smaller size a bit better but if you make them larger I am sure that means a bigger snack, right?? :lol:

I am not a coffee drinker at all but that hasn't stopped me from making Mug Rugs!!

Everyone has their own little poem they are creating so here's mine;

I am a little Mug Rug
As cute as I can be
I'm here to protect your table
From Coffee, Water or Tea

So place your mug upon me
You'll see there is extra room
For you to add some cookies
Or a snack in the Afternoon.

And I am in LOVE with that gorgeous Guitar mug rug! How fabulous is that!! Thank you for sharing!!!

And.. Thank you sew much for the lovely comments. I love making mug rugs because it's almost like instant gratification in regards to making a quilt!

Shirlrh 07-30-2011 10:40 AM

Very cute! I love making them.

i use mine everyday..it is 7 x 7. i have never washed it..i either rinse it off with a little soap and water. or soak it.

i didn't want it looking like my potholders,by putting it in the washing machine!

i just use warm and natural scraps of batting in mine..

I hope no one minds but I borrowed a few lines from one of your poems to go along with mine.

I am making mug-rugs for some patrons of my son. He works in a pub and these people are so nice and I thought that they might enjoy the mug-rug.

Here's my poem........what do you think?

A place for coffee, vino or tea,
whenever you use it, please think of me.
There's extra room for a little treat,
be it pretzels, nuts or something sweet.
Now pick up your glass, for a round of cheer,
My wish for you is good luck throughout the next year.

kacy 49 07-30-2011 11:55 AM

How cute. She will love them.
