Loved the new Mug rug design the Patchsmith http://thepatchsmith.blogspot.co.uk had created, so have made one for my friend for xmas.  My seams do not match and i cannot do free hand embroidery but i still think it looks great. It was very easy to do and the pattern was very clear and straight-forward.

Hi

I was asked to make a mug rug for a friend's brother-in-law but was stuck with what to do.  His hobby was carpentry and apart from applique-ing some tools i couldn't think of a good design so in the end I decided to do his name.  I think it has turned out pretty good and my friend is happy.  So if you want to theme a mug rug- remember you can always use their name (as long as its not too long - otherwise you may need two mug rugs - giggle)
