I finished two more totes Monday.
These are gifts for family members
on different sides of the family.
I figured it wouldn't hurt to make
them using the same fabric
since the recipients won't be seeing
each other.
The coupons from Joann's Fabric store
really helped with expenses,
as the fabrics I chose weren't on sale.
Yesterday I played around with a bit of
the left over fabric and made a
quilted mug rug.
This photo is truer to the actual
color than the first two tote photos.
~~~
A mug rug is just an over-sized
coaster. There's enough room
for a mug of something warm,
and a cookie ~~~ or two.
This one measures
about 6 1/4 X 7 1/2 inches.
Today Joyce and I worked at
getting gift baskets started
for the Seniors Christmas party
later this month.
I can't believe Christmas is coming
on us so fast.
I guess I'd better drag out the
Christmas totes and make it
look a bit like Christmas around here.
Ho Ho Ho...

ReplyDeleteMy Goodness those are adorable!! Nice work
ReplyDeleteCookies were good Patricia. Different, but good. Next time I will add nuts. Dough was good. I found it is better to mush the dough down. Directions say to make golf ball size....then bake. I mushed then down and they were more crispy-er. Guess you have to play with them to see what works the best.
ReplyDeleteYour totes are adorable!!!
