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.

I adjusted the July mug rug pattern a bit after making Christy’s card. However, I’d already done the embroidery work so even when it is trimmed down it is still an odd shape. Another time I will leave the embroidery off and just use the hexagons.
Vicki has been a friend since my earliest days in Yellowknife. Our kids grew up together and we even inherited her cat (Tigger) who was with us for many, many years.
We haven’t seen each other often in the past couple of years but now that I’m traveling again I hope that will change.

You’ve seen it before but here it is again!
And here’s a photo with the hangers.

I purchased sewing-themed panels and charms many years ago with the intention of quilting them, sewing on the charms, and using them as wall hangings – one for Stacia, one for Deloise and one for me. Earlier this year I made stitching pillows for each of us.
I had some fabric pieces remaining as well as all the charms so as soon as I finished the pillows I set them aside for birthday cards.
I used a stitch holder (from knitting) as a hanger – something I saw on Facebook.
