Mug rugs, yes I found out they are addicting to make, here's two more.

This is the zig zag  pattern...now if someone would just make me a scone with some devonshire cream and jam, I'd be all set, I can put a pot on.

This was with Joel Dewberry's fabric.  I had a bunch of half square triangles left over from a quilt I'd made.

The next one is a photograph I took in my garden of a monarch landed on my coneflower and I printed it on fabric, isn't that cool.

Amy Butler binding, don't you just love those dots.

I happen to put this tiny quilt on the long arm, just for fun and quilted one of Anne Bright's fill patterns.

I thought the colors and detail were really amazing for a digital photograph and then printed to fabric.  My daugther mentioned see loves butterflys when I showed her, so this may end up being a birthday gift for February's girl....shhh don't tell her.

These mug rugs remind me of a potholder or journal art quilt or a miniture doll quilt...another fun way to use of scraps and try new techniques and fantastic for those who want a little "instant" gratification!!

Mug Rug Finsih

Mug Rug-this is my first mug rug I've made, and oh yes I will be making more of these cute little mini's.  What a great way to use up scraps, so easy to just do some free form piecing...and who doesn't have a zillion pieces of scraps.  I did some simple straight line quilting and even had some leftover binding to use so I didn't have to make any just for this, woo hoo.

These marshmellows are really petite, about 1/3  size of a mini marshmellow at the store, found them at a local country general store.  I always add extra, you can never have too many right!

My youngest sister has a birthday coming up this month and she adores snowman, so this one is for her, no worries she has no time to read blogs, so it will be a surprise. 
Hugs, Michelle
