Glad you like the mug rug Jane. Norma, no I don't paint fabrics. I paint watercolor pictures of quilts on paper, but not fabric.

I'm embarrassed to even say this, but the fabric used for Jane's mug rug is leftover batik fabric I used for the backing of my "All Roads Lead Home" quilt I made in 1994 for Kaye England's book "Voices of the Past Volume 1." ( I actually had to go dig out the quilt to remember the name and date! Maybe I've made too many quilts! ha! Never!) In any case, the backing has pastel colors with lovely gold flecks on it and when I thought about making a mug rug for Jane, that fabric came to mind. I still have quite a bit of it! Maybe I should start a scrap quilt like Rita did with some of the batiks I have. I have so many!

Even though I came late to the mug rug craze, I am thoroughly enjoying making them. After making Ritzy's and Jane's it cracked open my "I can't do this attitude" and I've got the "I can do this attitude!" I had a wonderful weekend last working on a Jean Wells inspired quilt that turned out better than I hoped. Now, to quilt it!

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for the friendship, fun and encouragement.
