Mug rug designs to help you commemorate throughout the year
The pattern comes with some great designs that are based around four of the big celebrations across the year: Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
Valentine’s Day of course is all about the romance. With that in mind it was hard not to include a heart, a beautiful flower and a love note!
Easter egg hunts were a real highlight of my childhood (and of course when our children were little) so it was only right that an Easter basket was the main feature block on the Easter Mug Rug. This Mug Rug also features a sweet little bunny and a carrot for a healthy non chocolate treat!
The Halloween Mug Rug features a witches hat, a (not so scary looking) ghost and a spooky pair of eyes (which also look amazing in lime green…just ask Adelle one of my testers).
If you know me, you know that I love Christmas. If you really know me, you know that I would be happy designing exclusively Christmas patterns! I think however that you would all be very bored of me very quickly if that were the case! All that aside, the Christmas Mug Rug was a joy to see come together. I have incorporated a wreath with a bow, a little tree and a present. All fabulous blocks for Christmas.

Each of the main blocks on the right hand side of the mug rugs measures 6″ finished, so they are also great for adding to other patchwork and quilting projects that you might have in mind!
How to make a Mug Rug
The Pocket Mug Rugs are primarily made using the Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) technique. This is a great skill that allows you to create intricate designs that would be really difficult to achieve using standard piecing.
If this skill is new to you then don’t worry, this pattern includes three pages of illustrated step-by-step instructions to help you learn how to do FPP.
The instructions also show you how to add binding to your mug rug. If you’re struggling with this a little, then check out the video I have on YouTube that shows you one technique for adding binding to a smaller project such as this.
Useful tools for making a Celebrations Mug Rug
Here are some links to a few of the tools that I use when doing FPP and making the Mug Rugs…I really wouldn’t be without them!
If you click on any of the buttons or images below and buy the products, I will receive a few pence commission from Amazon as an affiliate, don’t worry, you will pay the same price regardless.
I use my add a quarter ruler (and my add an eighth ruler) every time I do FPP!
I think that Pym glass head quilting pins are the ideal length and thickness for patchwork.
I use this glue every time I add my first piece of fabric (and for so many other things!)
Sewing clips are always useful for so many different projects, not just patchwork!
this is not the exact listing for the clips I bought, but these are very well reviewed
