This week we're hosting the Mug Rug Blog Hop!
In celebration of fall, a season filled with mugs of apple cider, tea, and even hot cocoa, we have four different bloggers sharing a mug rug design they've created with one of our new fabric lines.
BYOM (bring your own mug), but we'll provide the mug rug inspiration, as well as fabric giveaways! In celebration of fall, a season filled with mugs of apple cider, tea, and even hot cocoa, we have four different bloggers sharing a mug rug design they've created with one of our new fabric lines.
Today Alison from Little Bunny Quilts is sharing a cute mug rug made using Cherry Guidry's Kitchen Love collection. If you haven't seen these prints, you'll love them! Alison drew inspiration from the fabric and her kitchen, even using a common utensil as her applique template. Have fun with this mug rug, and then head over to Alison's blog to enter for a chance to win a bundle of Kitchen Love!
Hello! I'm Alison from Little Bunny Quilts, and I am happy to be back here at Sew In Love With Fabric sharing a quick and easy tutorial for a mug rug today!
I decided to use the Kitchen Love line, because I love to cook and bake. The prints are just darling in this collection! And as a little twist, this mug rug could also be used as a washable spoon rest!
You will need:
Some sort of fusible web -- I use Wonder Under
Fat quarters of your fabrics -- I used four different fabrics
Using your favorite kitchen utensil, lay on your fusible web and trace. I used a wooden spoon.
Iron your fusible web template to your chosen fabric and trim to the correct shape.
Cut a rectangle for the front 4" x 8", cut a backing rectangle 5" x 9".
Remove the backing paper from the fusible web and iron onto your 4" x 8" rectangle.
Use a satin stitch to sew around the edges of your utensil. I used orange!
Layer your backing rectangle, a batting scrap (mine was 4.5" x 8.5") and quilt as desired. I did diagonal lines across my piece.
Trim your mug rug and bind as desired. I cut my binding strips at 2.25" wide.
Enjoy your new spoon rest/mug rug!
Perfect with a muffin and a mug too!
Head over to Alison's blog to be entered for a chance to win a fat quarter bundle of Kitchen Love.
