Mug rug madness marches on as everyone on my list is getting one as their handmade gift this year. Did I have grander things in mind? Yes, but this is an all around project finish so I’m happy about that! These are the latest additions:


This started as a scrap buster project yet I have (not so subconsciously) found a way to incorporate the polka dot fabric from Joann’s, that I love, which was specially assigned to the binding of my I Wish You a Merry QAL quilt. I can always buy more right?
Cat people run in my family…
Mixed in with my Christmas fabric, I found a forgotten UFO surprise of these two little wonky star Santas for a table runner I was planning last year. Added bindings and lo and behold, they became rug mugs too!

My brother-in-law is an avid chess player. Here is the mug rug I made for specially him. (His wife is my sister and blog follower, so she will not be getting a sneak peek of hers here!)
I like to doodle and found a great app called “Sketches.” I drew a mug and made these little cards to pin to each:
As holiday projects get wrapped up in the sewing room and then in pretty paper, it can only mean Christmas is almost here and a new year around the corner. It’s been a true gift to me talking and sharing with you through this blog and yours. Here’s to old friends 🥂 and the new one’s we will make!
With all my best, Happy Holidays to you and yours ~Abbie ✨💕

Thank you so much Cate!
Bindings seem harder to me on little pieces so I’m happy you think they look good.
Enjoy your Holidays! 🎊
