sewing is so therapeutic I would be lost without it. I had been thinking about the quick mitered corner receiving blankets & I thought that technique would work well on other items made sort of the same way. I have also been collecting the Charming Station designs for some time now & thought I would give one a try. SO although the words are crooked I really wanted to try the mitered corner technique on this so I cut the background fabric only 1 inch bigger all the way around & did it the same way & I am very happy to say that it works really well & now I have a mugrug for the holidays lol. Something I think I can use on many other things to make mitered corners.

Well if it does nothing else it was successful in making me feel a little cooler. LOL We have been having100 degree F. For several weeks now with little or no rain. A storm night before last, high winds, some trees down, lots of debris in pool but very little rain. I love your little snowman mug rug. Well done/Lillian

thank you Lillian.... we are expecting over 40 each day with the humidex for the weekend sigh......a warm one but we need some sun for the garden veggies

The simplicity of this rug really demonstrates how effective less can be. A great use of that snowman...and a gentle reminder to start working for Christmas!

I love snowmen, I'm addicted to them and have them all over at Christmas time.
