I made this mug rug for my partner for The Scrappy Mug Rug Swap. I did it log cabin style, and I love how it turned out! I love making these little things. I get to use scraps, and within a couple of hours I have a really cute something to show for it!
For the center I embroidered these little bees on some linen because you know bees get thirsty...and love twirly straws! This embroidery come from the Picnic Fairy Stitchette in Wee Wonderfuls shop.
For the back I used some of this lemon fabric to match the lemonade the bees are slurping up.
Absolutely ADORABLE!!! I've seen so many mug rugs floating around the blogosphere that I'm now feeling the need to make one for myself!
