Ladysaint,
That's a beautiful mug rug!
I hope you don't mind, but if I can do it, I may try to make a similar one for my mom. This swap is my 1st try at a mug rug. Neither myself nor Mom have one, either. And I think yours is lovely and would be perfect for my Mom.
She celebrated 10 yrs in remission from lung cancer this past April. She only has 1 lung, and is on oxygen full-time..We fight pneumonia every now and again, but all in all she does pretty good. And we know we got a miracle!
I just finished her crazy quilt I'd been working on for over 3 yrs. I included some embellishments on one of the blocks that celebrate her strength and our blessings. A mug rug surely won't take me that long..lol
The awareness color for lung cancer is white, so I'll have to jazz it up with some silver or pearlized fabrics...I have an extra tiny white ribbon charm that says Survivor that maybe can be put towards the edge, so it won't cause a cup to wobble...
Suggestions are welcome, too
