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.
Oh this is a sweet mugrug! The quilting is perfect for it and I like the french knot for eyes better than buttons.
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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!
Deletethis is so adorable--really cute...Spring has to be coming soon--I hope!! The days are staying light longer now...so that is a good sign...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! It was sort of warm today too! I hope it gets better! We'll just ignore that snowstorm forecast for Friday!
DeleteVery cute. I have a pattern with Bob whites I want to make....but I am determined to finish something up first.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colette! I know what you mean! Too many nice patterns out there!
DeleteSo adorable. Love the quilting and the embroidered details
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Dawn! Just a little sign of spring with that stupid storm coming.
