Thank you ladies. OK--I made this just like I made all my other mug rugs. Actually, this was the practice for the one I did for Limbania. I used Kona Jet black cotton, Pel-Tex instead of batting(a little hard to work through--my little fingers got a work out), same fabric on the back. After all was put together, I machine quilted it. The binding is a rayon ribbon that I liked and didn't know what I would use it for. It worked really well with the colors I had used. The thread was #8 pearl cotton. Quilting thread was Superior's Bottom Line in black.

Wendy--Margo told us that if we turn our heads to the side, it helps to see the quilting correctly. Try it--it works.

Great muggies Terrie and Nancy.

I wanted to let Mary know that she inspired me to do some hand embroidery and was surprized she wanted to share it. Thank you.
