Mug rug and card

Hi
At last I have something to blog.
Today I'd like to show you a mug rug and digi card I have made for a forum friend who has a birthday coming very soon.( I'm hoping she'll not look here before then ) I saw the mug rug on Pink Penguins blog and just had to make it. Originally the pattern was for a key fob and was resized with a binding added. I sewed strips of different sizes together, then cut two half leaf shapes from a paper template and cut these out of my two sewn fabric pieces. Then I sewed these two pieces together to form a 'leaf' I then quilted in the ditch between some of the strips. I used thermal wadding which is heat resistant, making it perfect for a hot cuppa.
The card is my first digi card. No it's not! It's my second. I scrapped the first as it was rubbish!
Thanks for visiting my blog
hugs Joy xxx

Hi Joy, love your Mug Rug, and of course your card, but the Rug is unusual (to me).
