Two quick, fun gifts made! Apple mug rugs for my son’s two Senior Kindergarten teachers.
The apple applique motif is from Kay Mackenzie’s book, Scrap-Applique Playground.
I even used her technique of using up stash bits to “make” the applique fabric.
It’s a great book! {tell Santa! wink wink!}
I used up leftover strips from the reversible bag I made as a Christmas gift. It’s a large kids print and lots of the images get cut off – but that’s okay. They ‘echo’ the sentiment of the apple and give it context {as opposed to maybe a red and white check fabric that might make a more folksy/kitchen statement}.
I also LOVE the blue leaves!
Two more gifts checked off.
Back to it!
Enjoy making with your hands from your heart,
Sarah Vee
