More beautiful muggies from your hand, Heather.
Do they do the pebbles with two colors on the sidewalk or is that just the fabric?

the sidewalk is in 2 colors as well.

I have a quilt design in my head for a whole quilt done in various themes of the cobblestone designs....the wave pattern (on the back of the muggies) is the most common, but there are sometimes birds (swallows) and flowers as well, and different businesses will put different things in front of their business.

Here is a shot of the sidewalk in the city where we lived; if you google "Copacabana Boardwalk" you can see more.

So glad it got there, Nancy!

The fabrics are all Brazilian fabrics which I wanted to use

The back is a print that is a very famous cobble stone sidewalk pattern throughout Brazil, most famously used along the beach at Copacabana, but used in most cities in Brazil.

I received mine from Jane and you as well, just need to get photos and post those up! They are gorgeous!!

All of mine have been mailed out now, too, so you all should start seeing them soon, those I was sending to

Isn't it wonderful! The fabric is beautiful, I love the colors and her stitching is perfect! I love her use of specialty stitches. Here's a close-up:
