Mug Rug Love!

Not sure if you've seen, but over at the blog called "twomoreseconds" she's been hosting Mug Rug Madness! These little things are catching on like wildfire! I've made several, but never had done one for me.....til NOW!!

I've had this fabric from Keepsake Quilting for.EVAH! Finally - the perfect little project to display these cutie fabrics featuring my signature color - PURPLE!! It went together super fast because I used the String Block method where it quilts as you go. I even got brave and tried sewing the binding to the back and then...get this....STITCHING IT DOWN BY MACHINE to the front!! I am an avid "sew to the front then hand stitch to the back" kindof girl, but I thought what the hey - I'll give it a whirl! So don't look to closely at my stitching as it's a little swirvy. Is that even a word? lol

Then afterwards, while I was still on a sewing high, I decided to start a table runner out of a cute rooster panel that I found at Joann's. I'm making this one for my aunt that kept Emma entertained for several days during Spring Break. As a little "thank you!"

So go forward and join the Mug Rug Madness!! Or whatever other madness you choose to join!
