It's a cute and simple little mug rug based on something I saw online yesterday. All I had to do was pull some 3.5" squares out of a box and wa-la! I just need to find a backing in the scrap bins and I am sure I can find some binding scraps as well.
I added the lingerie fabric to spice up the picture for you! It's leftover from some scrap trimming I did over the weekend. I trimmed scraps for 3 scrappy projects and the rest went into strip bins. Not an overwhelming accomplishment but any progress is better than none, right?!
Ahh...the other upside is that I took that stupid, dead iron to Walmart and before even telling the lady the whole story, she said "it has problems" and told me to get a new one off the shelf - no questions, no receipt. It's the same iron so it could have the same problems but if they will keep replacing it, so be it. On the suggestion of several people, I did not add water to the iron for the whole weekend but by Sunday night I just couldn't take it any more and added water...I'm much happier :)

You did it! It's very cute -- fun color combo, too! I'm so glad the whole iron thing was resolved. Whew!! :)
I need to get working on my hexies! I've been so busy with my dresdens, they've been pushed to the side!
Cute idea for a mug rug. Thanks!
I grew up without a steam iron, so I always thought it was such a hassle to have to have distilled water handy and was much more comfortable with a spray bottle than a steam iron. So I still don't put water in my irons and I go through one about every 10 years. Just sayin'. : )
Glad you have a new iron....
I await the finished product.
Love the mug rug. Good luck with the iron.
