Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	What beautiful mug rugs, Rita and Robyn. Adore the shamrocks front and center, love the red modern twist on Robyn's! What I used on between the piping and the binding was Spangle, a glitter yarn--I like it for couching as well as bobbin work. The color seemed just right for Nancy-s mug rug (done in Sewbatik fabrics because I know she likes them).

I am loving this exchange. Thanks for the compliments regarding my hexie mug rugs. I have some more almost ready to send. I been using these to tryout quilting designs for my bed size GMFG quilt. I tweeked the design a bit so that I could mark it more easily and do more continuous sewing. I actually started quilting the big quilt today. I am so excited. I love the ones Rita made. I have one of hers that I've not yet shared a photo. It's beautiful, just like all her others. I love it. I took a picture with my phone but I think I can access it here. If not I'll have to post again.

Isn't this Mug Rug just as fresh as spring time. The stitching is perfect and the whole this is crisp and bright. Just lovely. I love how you added your initial. I wonder if anyone can find the tiny, tiny shamrocks you must have added with those pens. They are just dots so I doubt they will show up, but they are oh so precious. Thanks, Rita.
When I enlarged the photo I could find the tiny, tiny shamrocks. Look for them.

Renata, Your little quilt is lovely. Did you use razzle, dazzle by the binding? Very pretty.
