Recently two sisters, with whom I had regularly exchanged fabric post cards, asked me if I would like to swap Mug Rugs. I had not heard of Mug Rugs but figured out that they are small quilts (like padded pot holders) on which to place one's hot tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. I agreed.
Although I have been sewing for many decades, the peak of my quilt-making days was almost fifteen years ago. It had been a while since I revved up my sewing machine. What a pleasant surprise to rediscover a love for piecing. On the reverse side I made a pocket to hold teabags and another pocket to hold a spoon.
One got the blue Mug Rug, the other got the red one when I sent them south to their new homes.
