MQGIM Mug rug swap – What Michelle sent me

Playing catch-up today with old projects! First I’ll show you what the lovely Michelle, stitchesofjoi, sent me in the MQGIM mug-rug swap :)

There was a lovely card, too, with a quote for decoration, and a pretty piece of pink fabric with dots. The latter I’ve already used some of in Cards, my third block of the Simplicity sampler quilt.

But this mug rug is cheerful and in use in my kitchen as we speak! She had hand-quilted the project, which was an extra wonderful surprise. Since my countertop is black, I find the splash of colour very nice, wouldn’t you agree?

Thanks Michelle and sorry about the slow blogging, despite already having shown it on Flickr!
