May for Me Mug Rugs - Getting Up Close with My Quilting

I quilted meandering with leaves and swirls on my mug rugs.

I completed 3 mug rugs.  All three were stitched in short little 15 minute intervals of Minutes for Me time. 

The first one was primarily greens.

I stitched two of them on the first day of May and the third one the next day.  I quilted them with all the small quilts as there was room for them.  The second mug rug had more blue squares.

This is the post about piecing the mug rugs and I explained that I did not match up any seams --- just stitched all the little pieces together.
The third one had more longer strips - rectangles and a few more blues.  You know I love blue!

 A few up close shots of the meandering and leaves.

I flipped them over.

 I love quilting the little leaves and swirls into the meandering.  I think it adds a nice twist.

Of course, I stitched my name in the right corner of each mug rug.

I'll stitch the binding on this weekend! Then I can enjoy a cup of coffee on my little mug rugs.

Yes - they will look a lot better with binding!


I am enjoying my 15 minutes of playing each day in May and sometimes I have found more minutes!  


What did you do?


Did you play? sew? cook? dance?


My song for Friday is Landslide by Stevie Nicks. I chose a mellow song for today. It's the end of the week.  Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI95V20Tixo&feature=related
It was one of my favorites from years ago, yet I think it has a whole different meaning as a 50 something woman.  So many changes in our lives...


May you have a wonderful mellow weekend!
