Happy Birthday Alex

Cards, Quilting

September 13, 2024

I didn’t make many cards this month but I wanted to be sure to send one to Alex. None of the mug rug patterns really suited so I went online to see what I could find. Obviously I was looking for golfing patterns but I didn’t have any luck. I switched to looking at images and was able to find something that I felt I could copy and this is the result.

In hindsight, I wish I could remember to do some cross hatch quilting prior to adding the appliqué pieces.

I hope Friday the 13th is a happy day for Alex.

Improv Summer Sun Mug Rug (The Polka Dot Chair)

If you are wondering why I’m doing another improv piece when I said I wouldn’t, I was working on the two cards in tandem. They are slightly different, but neither one is like the way it should have turned out.

Improv Summer Sun Mug Rug (The Polka Dot Chair)

I’m definitely more of a “pattern girl” than improv but I thought I’d give it a try. It worked out okay but were I to do it again (and I won’t) there are things I’d do differently.

I was late getting this card in the mail but I hope it isn’t too late for Tracie to get some of those final summer rays.

Pattern from The Polka Dot Chair

July’s mug rug involved hexagons which I love doing. It went together quickly and it reinforced how much I enjoy a hand stitching project.

It is much larger than any of the other mug rugs I have made but it will allow room for a cup of tea and one of Christy’s favourite doughnuts from Crumbl.
