** Updated ** Mug Rugs: Sent and Received

It was a happy mail day last week. I haven’t had a chance to post this yet as I’ve had a lot of reviews and giveaways to post lately… plus a few more to come.

I received this absolutely yummy mug rug from Sharon at Lilabelle Lane. This photo really doesn’t do it justice.

The piecing is perfection and the quilting is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Can you believe that this is Sharon’s FIRST mug rug?

Along with the mug rug, the parcel contained a matching blue mug (which is already in use) and a packet of white chocolate tim tams (which were eaten before I could take a photo).

Thank you Sharon. I absolutely love it!!

In return, I made this rainbow, semi dresden mug rug.






I must stop with my Dresden obsession. Perhaps if I make a Dresden Plate  quilt, I’ll get it out of my system once and for all.

*** EDITED *** My mail box was happy today. It was holding my brand new, signed, copy of "Making Quilts... the promise of joy" by Kathy Doughty. I have found THE Dresden quilt to make.

Check out the back cover of Making Quilts by Kathy Doughty. Oooooh!!!!!





Do you have a quilt block that you love and can’t help but keep going back to?

  1. Your Dresden plate mug rug is so pretty! I love your color combinations.
    I think if I have a favorite, it is the simple 9 patch. I love the checkerboard pattern it makes.
