Mini Monday: meet Friday's Finish

I got so busy with our guild's holiday Sew Day that I forgot to post last Friday's finish.

mug rug swap

 We swapped mug rugs at our holiday party.  This is the mug rug I made and Kathryn received.  Most of the fabrics are scraps of Kate Spain's Twelve Days of Christmas; the bottom of the mug and the handle are Sweetwater's Countdown to Christmas; the background is Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander.  The tutorial I used for the mug rug handle can be found here.

group photo

You can click on our Orlando MQG's website to see some great projects from that day.  The only picture I took (and since I'm in the picture technically I didn't take it) is our group photo showing off our mug rugs.  Marge made that fun horse mug rug that will be perfect in Montana!  Thanks Marge!

holiday Chucks

I also whipped up these cute holiday shoelaces using that same Sweetwater fabric line and Maureen's tutorial.  This counts as my Mini Monday project.  I have to say these shoelaces are so fun to make AND wear!  The bonus feature of this tutorial is feeling like a teenager again!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Monday and happy stitching,
