Spring Mugrug


I finished my little mugrug for Spring! I found a few paper piecing patterns and changed them up a little so the dimensions would fit. If you look closely, you can see I made French Knot eyes! I wasn't even sure I would remember how to do that! 


I decided to just quilt swirls in the background. I was hoping it would create movement just as if the birds were flying!  I outlined the birds and the heart. I actually wanted them to puff up a little bit which happened after quilting the background.


Here's the back of it. I just used scraps to make this whole mini. It measures about 10" X 6".


I applied the binding and sewed the back by hand. It definitely looks more finished with the embroidered legs. I might make a few of them for gifts. Spring is only one month away! (Can't come soon enough!)

    Oh this is a sweet mugrug! The quilting is perfect for it and I like the french knot for eyes better than buttons.

      Thanks, Jeanna! I figured that if I used a button, a mug or glass could wobble and possible fall over. It's nice to make a quick project for a change!

      Thanks, Julierose! It was sort of warm today too! I hope it gets better! We'll just ignore that snowstorm forecast for Friday!
