Instead of embroidery I used a Green Gel pen for the holly leaves.................
Add three beads for berries, batting, backing with a bit of quilting and the binding and
Voila........... A lovely Mug Rug...........
A close-up of the holly with berries...........
that matches the side of the mug...........
These mugs were purchased years ago at an after Christmas sale. I knew they would come in handy one day...............
OH...it's so lovely! Great job!
ReplyDeletevery pretty for Christmas. I need to make some for me - I have made one for each daughter but none for me.

Gosh ... Susan ... you are one creative lady! Lovely mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteYour mug rug turned out so cute. I think I will have to try some embroidery ones too. I am trying to finish a lot more to give to one of my stitching groups.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan... How sweet the Mug Rugs are... I was thinking the other day I need to make a Mug Rug to put next to my chair... I am always drinking tea when I sit and do hand work....So after the Holiday my sister and I are going to make some... Thanks for the inspration... :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and I love that the holly design matches the mug. Cute idea.
