I had a plan!
We are away from home, away from a sewing machine. I thought these mug rugs would be fun to do and have ready for Spring!
I did not do them from wool or felt. These are regular scraps of quilting cotton on some black duck that has resided in my stash for a long time!
I watched the video at Shabby Fabrics and downloaded the free layout diagram. I chose the fabric scraps and fused them to the black circles. Next came embellishments. A whip stitch, a chain stitch, some French knots in the center of the echinacea flower. I actually use colonial knots, they are easier for me and don’t seem to “lean over”
And now they are complete. I’ll link this post December Table Scraps Challenge post at The Joyful Quilter.
These were fun! I don’t know why they were UFOS for so long! I will do another set soon!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
nice to have hand stitching for your visit to your son
