MUG RUGS


Hand Painted, Hand Quilted Mug Rug


I recently got into a Mug Rug Swap for Fall.
The theme was leaves.  For my exchange, I drew leaves
and hand painted.  The back ground looks yellow in
this photo but is really a beige.  I enjoyed using this
technique of painting on fabric because it allowed me to do what I love best (Hand Quilting) quickly and without any seams in the way.  This was my first attempt of painting on fabric.  I will do this again.

This is the back.


This next mug rug is from my swap mate at the Missouri Star Quilt Forum Group.  Jane did a beautiful job.  She claims to be a new quilter but I see some real sewing experience in here.  Her machine quilting is excellent.  Froggie likes it too and insisted on getting in on the pictures.
