I haven't been blogging over the holidays because I haven't been doing much sewing. I am in the process of cleaning my sewing room/studio in hopes of having some fun sewing again, without all the messy distractions. I have found several orphan blocks and I made a quick mug rug out of one of them. I didn't bind or quilt this one, I just sewed it with batting and backing(right sides together) and left a few inches so I could turn it right side out. I used a chop stick to push the corners out, ironed it, and then sewed about an eighth inch all the way around, which closed the opening and gave it a finished look. I may do some big stitch quilting or embroidery later, but I kinda like it already : ) It is a six inch block.
I have always wondered how do you know if you have a sewing room or studio? ; )
