I've been making some mug rugs in the last few days to have on hand as little gifts. What a lot of fun these little gems are. They are meant to put on your desk or sewing table and will hold a mug and there is also room for a cookie or snack. This keeps your work surface clean and protected from spills. It can be thrown in the washer and dryer for quick clean up. You'll need several for your own desk :-).
What a lovely disaster I had in the sewing room working on these little mug rugs.
In the middle of the mess, I found my chocolate emergency kit LOL!
Some finished mug rug tops (they need binding yet):
If you would like to make mug rugs in class, I have all the materials ready to make as many as you like!
I have been quilting since 1989 and do most of my quilting on a 1951 Singer 15-88 treadle sewing machine. My husband and I collect antique and vintage sewing machines and enjoy finding, cleaning, restoring and sewing on them together. Well, my husband doesn't do much sewing :-). But, when we demonstrate machines at museums or other shows, we have a stack of patches ready. Someday, there will be enough four patches to make into a quilt!
