My Mug Rugs

The newest craze out there in blogland are these mini quilts that people have called "mug rugs".  It's a giant coaster.  Enough room for your mug and a snack.  I finally caved and made up one for myself and Amelia liked it so much, I made her one too.

Mine came out bit long and skinny but it's fine.  I really like them and would love to make them for gifts this Christmas but I pushed that idea out of my head.  Not going to do it.  At least not this year.

I busted open my Moda Sampler box and used "Spring Fever" for my mug rugs.


Amelia's is the pink binding, mine the purple.  I like the checkerboard look and I will make myself another with just the mini squares.  They are cute, aren't they?

Enjoy your day!

  1. I've been seeing these in blogland the last couple of days now and think they are fantastic gift items for teachers, co-workers, etc.

  3. They are great. I might make one to go with the Secret Santa swap stuff that I'm making.
    Other than that a mug, tea bag, cookie and mug rug will make some great presents

    Love and hugs Gina xxx

  6. They are very cute, Jen. I like the purple one best. Must be fun to make them because I'm guessing they are quick, so you get the gratification of actually finishing a project right away.
