Learning New Things


Sometimes I like to play around and mug rugs are a perfect way to try new ideas without a huge commitment of time and materials.

Do really BRIGHT and LOUD colors work together?



Can I make flying geese and how in the world should I quilt them?



I love wonky stars... can I make one to fit a mug rug?


How hard can something like this be?  (Answer: Not hard, just time-consuming... there has to be an easier way!)

  1. Wow these are all great and you got so much done! You do a really good job of putting colors together. I made some rugs, but still have to quilt and bind them. Maybe this afternoon and tonight I can finish them.

    Here is a link to a Flicker account with some mug rugs to browse I just keep hitting the right arrow. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35289170@N06/5455199130/in/photostream/

  8. I love your practice quilting! Have you tried utilizing free motion on a mug rug yet? You could have just plain muslin, put in dark thread and "go to town"!
