I received the beautiful mug rugs from my swap partner Pam a few days ago, which made their way safely to Singapore from USA! It was so exciting to receive the mug rugs, and boy was I amazed when I opened the package to see loads of other goodies which Pam sent over! There were two packs of Hannah Montana […]
After working on the mug rugs for a few weeks, they are finally completed! I hope I had more time to work on them though and improve on the colour combinations. It’s a pity I was really ill over the past few weeks and had to cope with the children’s exams at the same time, and could not dedicate more […]
My progress wasn’t as fast as expected for the two mug rugs as I’ve been ill since last week and was suffering from back pain, which doesn’t allow me to sew for long periods. Having to cope with tutoring the kids for their mid-year exams didn’t help too. 🙁 I’m however working on the hand appliques for the Flower Basket […]
Michele from the Quilting Gallery has organised another exciting mug rug swap and I’m in! This time, the theme is “Springtime Flowers” and the designs are so pretty! My partner is Pam from USA and I’m happy to be sewing for her. Her favourite colour is purple and I’m trying my best to have different shades of purple on the mug […]

I’ve been too bogged down with work and kids lately, had it not been Gary lending his hands to do the […]
I’ve finally finished the appliqued piece for the Two Owls Mug Rug. What’s left is quilting for the top and binding. Don’t think I’m going to quilt the top though, I think it looks good as it is! I should give myself a pat on the back since it’s my first attempt at applique and it didn’t look too bad […]
It’s been a crazy period for me & I was struggling to find time to start on the first mug rug. Managed to kick start the two owls project this week & progress has been good so far. Targeting to finish doing the appliqués by tonight. I chose to hand appliqué the shapes as machine appliqué is really freaking me […]
Michele from the Quilting Gallery has teamed up with Amanda from The Patchsmith to organise an exciting mug rug swap. Amanda has designed two super cute mug rug patterns, which participants will receive once their swap registration is approved. I’ve never had an opportunity to be part of any swaps or exchanges as these are pretty unheard of in […]
