I decided to make another mug rug to match my orange cup. But after thinking about it a bit, I wanted my rug to have a spoon rest. I included quilter's vinyl (distributed by C&T Publishing) to cover one of my fabric squares. This will work as the spoon rest. I'm not too concerned about staining, overall, since I'll probably be mixing mostly hot chocolates. I took the picture below, with the glare, on purpose so you could see the vinyl.
Then I went to my cabinet and found another graphic mug to work from. Its a mug I picked up at the 1000Won store in Korea. (1000Won Store is our Dollar Store) I used Steam-a-Seam and fabric scraps for the rug.
Y'all know I have an aversion to quilting in colored thread, but I'm looking to branch out. In both samples, I quilted in colored thread. Orange in the first rug and black (GASP!) in the second rug. I think it looks pretty cool. Baby steps...
And a third... or wait.. fourth... {{Someone stop me!}} ... A snowman mug and a rug with green snowflakes.
The Snowman Mug is from the thrift store. Yes, I went to the thrift store with the express purpose of picking up some interesting mugs. You don't want to know how many I found for $.29/ea...
Update: Each rug of mine, measures about 6" x 10".
