Meadowbrook : April Showers Mug Rug Hop

April Showers Mug Rug Hop

It is time for another blog hop with Madame Samm and Erin our cheerleader. I've really been enjoying all the mug rugs made this week. As a matter of fact, I now have more than one on the design wall.

Life has been a little crazy around here lately, so I thought a little spring happiness was in order. I was able to use my blanket stitch on my sewing machine, a little hand embroidery on the eyes and antennae, some machine quilting, and then hand binding (I soon realized is rather difficult on something so small). What fun to be able to use a little bit of all those different aspects of quilting and have a finished "mini quilt."

FRIDAY, APRIL 12th

Bobbie @ From This to That

Leslie @ Les Quilts

Kristen @ Meadowbrook you are here!

Lavonna @ ZellerWear

Lynn @ Thimblemouse & Spouse

Amy @ Sew Incredibly Crazy

Martha @ Living Life

Shawn @ Creative Inspiraciones

Rhonda @ Sunrise at Ravelly's!

Toye @ Quilting Adventures of a Ginger

Please take a little time to visit the rest of today's participants. I know I have been very inspired seeing everyone's creations this week. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen
