Valentine’s Day Mug Rug

The Valentine’s Day Mug Rug is a wonderful patchwork project that is sure to bring a little love and joy to your tea break! We love to make for those that mean a lot to us and this is the ideal project to let someone know you care. Every time they use their mug rug they will be reminded of how much you mean to them.

This little Mug Rug has a little slip pocket that is ideal for slipping in something essential like a pair of glasses or a pair of sewing scissors, you could even slide in a little treat (I’d suggest the wrapped variety though!).

The three blocks are pieced using the Foundation Paper Piecing technique and you see that large heart block on the right hand side of the Mug Rug? Well, that heart measures 6″ finished and will work fabulously in so many other patchwork projects. It really is a versatile block!

What colour will you make yours?

The fabric choices we make reflect who we are, who we are making for or are just a reflection of what we have in our stash!

I chose to make my Valentine’s Day Mug Rug with a selection of Makower Spectrum Solids (can you see the mistake I made with the background fabric on the flower section…never sew in low light!) but I really want to make another on with a strong red for the heart!
