Last week I needed to make a project to be raffled off at my quilt guild. I chose to make a couple of fall tea cup mug rugs (say that 10 times) for this month's raffle.
I used Fig Tree fabric called Cinnamon and Cream that I have had for a couple of years. I love how the colors worked for this project. I drew up a tea cup on graph paper and worked to make it fit with eight 2 1/2" squares. I just love how they turned out.
Here is what it looked like while I was working on it. I should have made the top strip just a bit wider, so I will adjust my pattern to make the cup fit better next time.
I want to make these all day. All of my friends said that they loved them and wanted them. :)
So I guess I will be making more. They would make a cute wall hanging or even a quilt if I had time to work on it.
The cup could be a (large) tea cup or a small mug. Which do you prefer? Tea or coffee? And the squares to the right - they could be for a cookie, muffin or scone. It's just the perfect little gift.
Let's go have tea and scones - my favorites.
