Book Review – The Patchsmith’s Christmas Mug Rugs
Take any 6” quilt block and transform it into a delightful and functional mug rug mini quilt for your home. A mug rug mini quilt is the ideal gift to make for yourself or a friend, relative, teacher or colleague. They are small enough to create in an afternoon and will brighten any table or desk. Within the pages of this book you will find ten ‘side bar’ designs which can be paired with ANY 6” block to create a unique and fun mug rug.
The Patchsmith’s Christmas Mug Rugs
Perhaps you have some 6” blocks left over from a sew-along or maybe you have one or two practice blocks that you don’t know what to do with. With this book you can now turn these spare blocks into a fun and functional mug rug mini quilt. There is a perfect ‘sidebar’ to suit any block style. And, just in case you don’t have a spare 6” block to hand, you will also find instructions for the seven 6” blocks featured in the book.
Each pattern is presented as a stand-alone unit with easy-to-follow instructions, colour diagrams and full size templates. The patterns and blocks include a mix of simple patchwork and quick-fuse appliqué designs which are suitable for beginners and experienced quilters alike. The finished mug rugs range in size from 9” x 6.5” up to 11.5” x 6.5” – room enough for a mug and cookie. So join with the Patchsmith today and mix-and-match your favourite blocks with some fabric fun.
