Gallery :: Mug Rugs

Victoria PeatMarch 2, 2023

This Mug Rug Gallery of Makes is here to inspire you into making a Pocket Mug Rug of your own! These projects are great for adding a little cheer to your tea break, but they are also wonderful to make as a gift for someone special or even as a swap gift for your quilting group!

The piecing is all done using the Foundation Paper Piecing technique and the feature block on the right hand side measures 6″. This means that with each pattern you are also getting a block that works well in other patchwork and quilting projects.

The photos in the Gallery below are a collection of my makes, blocks from my testing team and pictures from customers that have a purchased the pattern. With a bit of luck, a browse will get you in the mood for sewing!

Get your Mug Rug project featured

Below are some great examples of the Pocket Mug Rugs. There are some really super fabric choices. I particularly like the Java Batiks that Daisi Toegel used on her version. Hopefully this collection of great makes will get your creative juices flowing and will inspire you to make your own.

Once yours is complete do send me some pictures and I’ll get you added to this Gallery of Makes. You too can then be part of this fabulous collection!

You can either send me a picture on email or if you’re sharing a picture on Instagram tag me @victoriapeat
