Very Fun MUG RUG

I'm not often enthralled with the Mug Rug Idea....    'but  here I saw a great THANK YOU opportunity for a welcome lady at our new 55+ HOA community. I know Joan is a coffee drinker and wanted to thank her for the hour+ she spent going over rules, regs,  and social connections for our Mountain View Community.   Painted, quilted, and bound in an hour and a half! Nice 'therapy' for me  and generally pretty sweet result.

A Beautiful Creation

Sometimes a quilter gets handed a gorgeous piece to quilt in a way that further enhances its beauty. I love this quilt by friend Kelly.  It was great fun to design quilting to support her appliquéd circles. I'm pretty happy with it but for having to return to her. Definitely worthy of an important position in the home. Click on photo for enlarged view.
