I was a vendor at a convention this weekend and sold a ton of mug rugs. People were buying them up to 8 at a time. I thought I'd share what I learned. What people bought first/most of were ones that had words on them and funny. A lot of people did not k
I finally got around to stitching this project out. It's a cultrey holder from Stitch Delight. Her instructions and photos on how to do it were fantastic. They'd really dress up a table!
Mug Rug I've started making a series of mug rugs using Embroideronline's designs, baby woodland. The designs are on sale now. They use a lot of the same colors, so it is easy go go from one animal to the next. I needed something for little "thank yo
A mug rug I made for myself!
I made some more mug rugs to sell at a craft show I'm doing this week. This was a free design and the stitches did not line up perfectly, but I like how it turned out anyhow. The octopus was a freebie too, and the bird is Embroidery Library. They are don
This is the caffeinated owl apron that I've had so much trouble with the hooping. Actually, I always have hooping trouble. It is from Smart Needle. By the time I got to the last few colors, they were all not lining up right, so I just stopped stitching.
I did this pumpkin in white. Unfortunately, when I put a wss topper on it, I also grabbed a white leave in stabilizer as well. Went to wash the stabilizer out and discovered what I'd done. I can probably save it by carefully cutting away some of the stab
My friend just got a Westie puppy so I made this hand towel for her. She's a really cute puppy. The design is from Embroidery Library. They have several breeds available.
My friend was in the hospital and she could not eat anything. So I made her a mug rug. I used chocolate chip cookie fabric on the back. It made her laugh.
I've been working on a set of monogramed napkins for a gift when both of my machines decided to go on strike and stop working. Both of them have come home from the shop and had to go right back again with another problem. As a result, I haven't been abl
Mug rug that I will probably change the wording on next time. I think it'd be better saying "water-wood" instead of "mug-cookie."
I've been busy making mug rugs for my next event in a couple of weeks. I'm going to be a vendor at a conference for women with gynocological cancers and their mentors. The ask for 10% of you sales and I match it with an additional matching donation. I s
Ok, the chipmunk from that series. My friend has been dealing with ovarian cancer going on 9 years now. I need to clip the jump stitches in the ribbon.
I've been working on some aprons for upcoming shows. The pig is from Julia's Desgins, the Christmas ones are from Artistic Designs. I used some gold metallic and silver threads that really made the designs stand out. The aprons are much blacker than the
Last week was the conference for Gynecological Cancer Survivors that I'm a vendor for. I make a wine basket for their raffle and donate all the money I take in. I just do mug rugs. Interestingly, the Latte one was popular, but not the Fridge one.
