Busy Sewing…
The bindings for the mug rugs are cut and pressed.
Here is my helper, Artemis, keeping me company as I sew. He looks sweet and very comfortable, but don’t let the sweet face fool you. His tail is twitching which means I am annoying him with my picture taking.
The mug rugs are all quilted and trimmed and ready for bindings. I have been adding the bindings and realized that I always get anxious when it comes to sewing the finished ends of the binding together. It always works out fine, I just start to feel anxiety when I get close to that step. With this project, I had 9 moments of anxiety, but by the last one I did feel a little bit better about the process.
If you missed the first part of this process, you can check out my previous post here: Mug Rugs!!!
Have a great weekend!

Great fabric choices! I totally understand the binding anxiety. Hopefully after nine mug rugs, you can kiss that anxiety goodbye!,

Your mug rugs looks gorgeous! I've been wanting to make some for a while now, but haven't found the time amongst all of my other projects. These definitely inspire me!

I love the cheerful fabrics you used! I am an "aspiring quilter" myself. I have a sewing machine but not a lot of skills or patience at the moment. 🙂 but your projects are sure to inspire me! following now- found ya via Mop It Up Mondays!

Hi Candace, I love your blog. You are a very talented lady! I was wondering if you could tell me who the designer is of the gray and white scalloped fabric in the very top picture of this post. I love it and can't find it. Anyway your blog and beautiful quilts inspire me to keep sewing.
Thank you. Taflucas@yahoo.com

Hi Candace, I'm so glad I found you over at bystephanielynn.com! I really love the quilts you've done. I've been sewing since I can remember, and have actually started TWO quilts now, but have yet to finish one. 🙁 I'm so amazed by the fact that you not only start them, but you get them done! You're so inspiring! Can't wait to see more!

Wonderful mug rugs. Yep I feel the same way about the finishing the binding. Just a tense moment no matter how many times you do it.
