Mug Rugs are Completed!

Yeah….after a few weeks of working on my mug rugs, they are finally completed and will be on their way to my swap partner tomorrow!  My partner is a lady from Australia and I do hope she likes them.  I’ve been too bogged down with work and kids lately, had it not been Gary lending his hands to do the finishing touches (ie binding), I may not be able to make it for the deadline!  Thank you darling!  🙂

I should give myself a pat on the back, this being my first try in doing appliques, and I think they didn’t look too bad!  I do hope to try out machine applique sometime soon….if I could find the time to practice.

Here’s my final “masterpieces”:

Two Owls Mug Rug

Winter Birdhouse Mug Rug

I’ve not received my mug rugs but I do hope I get them soon….it’s so exciting!
