Mug Rug Swap Complete

Here is my completed mug rug for the current swap on Flickr... I really hope my partner likes it. I thought this was a green fabric I used for the background but someone remarked what a nice aqua it was... which is a color my partner dislikes. UGH! I really hope she likes it despite this error!


I really love the back of the mug rug even more, as I love this grey linen Heather Ross print! oxoxo!

A little organizational help for your purse

Scrappy Mug Rug Swap, Halloween Edition Received!!!

I received my mug rug swap package today and have already found a new home for it on my wall! Esther made me a super cute pumpkin mug rug that it equally stunning on the back! She also sent a nice note, pumpkin keychain, chocolates, stickers, BASIC GREY BUTTONS!!!, and some vintage fabric! Yay!

Rug Quilt Finished!

I finally bound and quilted this rug quilt and I think it turned out to be absolutely stunning! It's a pattern I've had for YEARS by J. Michelle Watts called Spanish Textile. Simply beautiful design!



I used a zig zag in neon green thread to showcase the seams...



And some graphic Robert Kaufman for the back!

Mug Rug Progress

Here's a look at the unfinished mug rug I've made for my partner. I hope she likes it!!! I really love paper piecing and this one was too cute to pass up!

New quilt started...

Like I don't already have enough quilts in progress... though I did finish machine quilting two of them today so I guess I deserve at least one new start. I am undecided on this one. I think I would like it better had I switched the aqua and grey. Ugh. Too bad, already all cut. Guess this is how it will look!...

Quick Curve Ruler!

A couple weeks ago I received my Quick Curve Ruler, which is designed by a blogger at Sew Kind of Wonderful, Jenny Pedigo. I have a couple project rulers already so I thought, why not try this one as well?



My first cut with this ruler was so easy! Her instructions were spot on and well translated by words and pictures. If you have time to look at her blog, you will see she has so many tempting photos of her quilts made with this ruler, you might just buy it yourself!



She's also doing a QAL for those of you who like to join in and right now she's even giving away a free pattern and ruler!!! Seriously, go and enter!!!
