I had these two mugs printed with photographs of Herdwick sheep for my daughter. I printed the same pictures onto fabric and used that to make a pair of mugrugs. I knew she wouldn't approve of quilting over the pictures so I compromised by using a jigsaw pattern.

Perfect! This set would please anyone.

A great set Sue, and I like your terrific idea of the jig saw puzzle effect. I am sure your daughter is going to love her gifts. Sandra.

Very nicely done. Would like to know where you got the mugs from?
Thank you for sharing Happy Stitching Brenda Lea

A local company run by an ex pupil of mine did them.

Awesome set...Stunning idea!!!

Having the cups to match make a great gift for her. All my sheep friends would love these too.

Wonderful idea.

love them and this idea hugs

A wonderful set. I bet your daughter will appreciate the work you put into it.

What a great set! Did you use the fabric treated to be printed or ??? I have tried printing on fabric and without some treatment, mine have not washed that well...

I used Bubble Jet 2000 to treat the fabric. It seems to work well.

Thanks, Sue...I have a bottle of that and have treated some fabric with it...but have not printed any treated fabric yet...

Such a beautiful gift!

What wonderful, thoughtful gifts for your daughter. Just remember ~ don't get mad when she cuts out that jigsaw puzzle so she can properly work it.

They are the hardiest breed we have here - out on the fells in all weathers. They do have lovely faces. The brown one is a shearling. They are on;y grey as adults.
