A Perfect Morning Pick-me-up!


I love a good cup of coffee in the morning. Brew it strong and serve it hot with a splash of milk and spoonful of sugar. What could possibly make it better?



How about the addition of a colorful patchwork mug rug? It's like a pick-me-up for your morning pick-me-up! 


My friend, Mary, made this postage stamp version for me exclusively from her scraps. Each vibrant square finishes at a mere half inch! Isn't it fun? 


Why not make a mug rug of your own and see if it doesn't “perk up” your morning brew? There are plenty of ideas and tutorials online, most beginning with a basic quilt block. They make great gifts too!
