MUG RUG


My morning coffee just got a little better!  My dear friend Rett, from The Gazebo House sent me this beautiful MUG RUG!

A rug mug... isn't that a great idea?




She is an accomplished quilter, and I had commented on a darling rug mug on her blog~

...and in just a few days she had made one especially for me!  The colors compliment my study where I have my morning coffee. And the quilting and stitches make this a real work of ART!



Oh Rett! I just love my MUG RUG! Thank you so much!!!!!

Look at this creative detail...



She even put one of my very favorite Bible verses on it... Philippians 4:13



And she was kind enough to post a MUG RUG BINDING TUTORIAL!

    Would you ever had thought you could make such friends through blogs???? I am still a little "on the outside looking in", however, I do see how God connects people and uses it as a means of blessing!!! The women in my family are memorizing this very verse right now and in two weeks we move on to another one!

    Very lovely. I love the colors and all of the detailing.

    Of course the reminder in the verse can be especially encouraging on days you may be facing challenges.

    Have a happy day.

    Enjoy the warm sunshine.

    Those mug rugs are a super cute idea. They would make wonderful gifts to the special people in your life. I really need to learn how to make some of this stuff. It looks like so much hard work, she is so talented.

    Very Cute....I think you meant to call it a MUG RUG at the beginning of your post but instead called it a Rug Mug! :o) We understood though. Have a great day.

    Awww, what pretty photos you took of your cup sitting on top, Yvonne! You capture some of the best shots!

    I'm glad you liked it & I was happy to be able to make it for you. You've shared so many wonderful ideas & tablescapes with us, it would be impossible to pay you back for all the inspiration!
    I thank you for your kind words as well as those shared by others in the comments. We've been out of town, visiting relatives all day & to come home to read all these nice posters warms my heart, truly.

    Mega Hugs,
    Rett

    Hi Yvonne,
    This is a beautiful quilt piece. I love the scripture to sit by my coffee cup as a reminder for the day. I must have a Rug Mug, just like yours. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day!
