Mar 13 (Love to Sew: Patchwork Bags; Love to Sew: Mug Rugs) Talk
about double the fun! The 40 projects in [these two books] provide
so many fast and fabulous ways to get creative with fabric. What's
a mug rug? It's the latest trend in sewing and quilting, that's
what! Part placemat, part coaster, it's the perfect size for a cup
of coffee and a few cookies and a cute way to add a bit of
personality to an afternoon break. Dress up your kitchen table with
a variety of mug rugs: everything from a mug rug shaped like a
giant cupcake to one with a pocket for your spoon! And if you love
making bags, you're in for a treat. These 20 speedy projects come
in a wide range of head-turning styles – retro, urban, playful,
romantic, modern... you name it!
*Crafter's Choice*
Mar/Apr 13 Christa has collected together designs from various
artists to present 22 different mug rugs – smaller than a placemat
but larger than a coaster. Materials and techniques are fully
explained and the book contains all templates and full detailed
instructions. A fun book to appeal to all ages and abilities.

Mar 13 Not a placemat nor a coaster, the mug rug is just right for
you cup of tea or coffee and a couple of biscuits or a spoon. These
perfect sized mats will surely find a place in your home. 22
designs are featured each with easy to follow instructions and good
photography. All templates are provided and basic techniques are
given. The mats have been designed by various artists using
quilting and applique techniques. I'm sure you'll find plenty you
love. I particularly like Nostalgic Charm and Good Morning by
Renate Bieber, Cathedral Windows by Verena Surerus and Pretty in
Pink by Sabine Gunther as well as the Pocket Rug by Kerstin Porsch.
A lovely book with new ideas and ideal for gift making.

Apr/May I must confess I have never heard of a mug rug before, but
as many of us sue mugs instead of cups and saucers, this certainly
seems like a practical solution to avoiding unsightly ring marks on
you furniture. The mug rug is described as a large coaster with
room for your favourite mug and biscuit or two. These projects are
small enough to complete in a few hours, but large enough to expand
your creativity and get to grips with a new technique you haven't
tried before. There are 22 different designs by various artists and
all have clear instructions and templates where applicable. These
projects would make a quick but personalised gift for a friend or a
quick make for your next quilting fair.
