Home Mug Rug

I made my first mug rug...and I think I'm hooked. What a fun project! I can start and finish all in one sitting! How awesome is that!? 

This one turned out a little bigger than a typical mug rug, I think it's close to 10x13".

I made this mug rug for a friend at work. We all struggle to find the right work-life balance, and I made this to bring a little of her life into work....she has two lab dogs, loves to garden, and her and her husband have a yurt they vacation at frequently. So I dug through my scraps and found fabrics with dogs and flowers. I have yet to find yurt themed fabric, so I thought this camping themed print would be perfect for the backing.

Can't wait to make another mug rug!

Simple Patchwork - The Girl Edition

The boy version turned out so cute, I HAD to make a girl version.

I just love simple patchwork...especially in low volume prints, with pops of brightness.

 

These are just 4" finished squares. Finished size is 32x40. 

Binding and backing....turned out perfect!

And my very reliable photo bomber...

 

Simple Patchwork

Sometimes simple is best...especially when it uses up scraps!

Been loving all the simple patchwork quilts that have been popping up lately on Instagram and in the blog universe...particularly those that use low-volume prints. 

This one uses 4" finished squares, so it measures somewhere around 32x40...makes a great baby quilt and only needs one yard of backing fabric =)

 

This little quilt is a gift for a co-worker who is expecting a boy in the fall. Working on a girl version as well for another co-worker.
