Last day of June

Instead of listing all the things I didn't finish in June. 
I am going to make a positive list.

• Got squares cut for Emma's quilt.
• Started sewing them into pairs.
• Sorted through several totes of out grown kids clothes. Have some to donate, other to repurpose and still more back into the totes because I can't part with it yet.
• Crocheted a pile of dishcloths.
• Have a half afghan done, using up odds and ends yarn.
• Made a mug rug from my cousin's birthday and got it to her in time! 
• Went to my in-laws to check the dog when they were gone overnight, found they were using the most adorable enamel bowl to scoop dog food. I asked nicely and they gave it to me...the bowl, not the beagle :)

Mug rug for work

Before












I used some pastel scraps for the front. Part of a flannel remnant I got at walmart ( a 1/3 yard for 32 cents. I figured I used 8 cents worth, lol) for the back. I stitched them right sides together with a scrap piece of flannel for the batting and top stitched around the edge.

After

Using scraps

My first ever scrap-busting mug rug.

Its in the mail,
off to my sister in law. She likes pigs, I knew I had some fabric with a pink pig - took me a while to find it. She also gets a random 'J'
