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 adding a colorful patchwork mug rug? It's like a pick-me-up for your morning pick-me-up! 


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


Why not make a mug rug for yourself and see if it doesn't “perk up” your morning brew? There are loads of ideas and tutorials online, most beginning with a basic quilt block.
