One of my favorite Mug mats from San Francisco Stitch.

I DID make this design for my chocolate-loving coffee ladies. Sadly, they may love chocolate, but all are diabetic and must be oh, so careful.

As always, love to see your beautiful designs. To me, it makes me feel as if you are sharing this with me and all your friends.

Used to have a sewing/quilting/embroidery group meeting in my own sewing room. "Those were the days, my friend. We thoughts they'd never end. . . "
