{finish it friday...the mug rug version + a winner!!!}

First of all, Random.org chose a winner for the Christmas in July Blog Hop!!!

and #8 is Vicki H!!! Vicki, check your email! ♥

For my finish today, I whipped up 30 mug rugs! I really cut 42, but I only bound 30!! And it took me a little bit to bind them...

So, after a Hobbit marathon, several other movies and tv shows (and a lot of checking FB and IG in between each mug rug!!!), I got these cutie suckers all done!!

I'll post a picture of the finished luncheon table with all of the mug rugs when someone texts me with it (hint hint)!! LOL!!

Here's what I learned doing these:

• I LOVED the process of creating a bunch of mug rugs at once!
• I LOVED practicing my FMQ (free motion quilting). 
• I WISHED I had gone to my darling friend, Becca's mini workshop on machine binding which is coming up at our August HMQG meeting (for locals, it's August 16th from 1-4pm!!)!!! Those little mug rugs took a bit too long to bind by hand...BUT remember, I love to bind!! ♥
• I WISHED I had more hours in the day to make more and more mug rugs!! 

I'm off to make some cute pin cushions!! and a couple of quilt tops!! and perhaps a few borders on my Marcelle Medallion Quilt!!

Happy August! And in honor of my fun birthday month, I have a couple of surprises to share with you on Sunday! Join me right here on Sunday! and sign up for my newsletter, because a new giftie is going out on Monday!!! yay! I love new...

I'm linking with crazy mom quilts finish it up friday...

Blessings!!!

Whew! Lots of work, great job! Can you tell me who makes that little fluffy sheep?

I find it harder to do the binding on small item like this, because there's just not the room to have lots of overhang to join the ends.

I certainly tried it a bunch of fun different ways while binding those little suckers! ♥
