Mug Rug Mania Strikes!!

I have succumbed to the pressure…
the pressure of Mug Rug Mania!!

Thanks to all the eye candy that my
blogging friends (Samme and Jodi)
have tempted me with…
I had to make one!!

I’ve been into owls now for awhile.
Another reason to buy more fabric??
Well, my mug rug was not
inspired by a mug!
It was my owlish wisdom… yeah, right!

I used all stash scraps to strip piece
the brown for the tree.  Strips were
from 1 1/4” to 1 1/2” wide.  Then I
I pieced in the branches and used
fusible applique’ for the owl.
Isn’t the background fun??

The fun part was the quilting.  That’s
the best part of these mug rugs…

  it easily fits under the machine
arm and you just pretend
the needle is your pen
and the thread your ink! 
Draw to your heart’s desire!!

Now it’s your turn! 
I showed you mine, now
will you show me yours?
