Mug Rugs

Happy Sunday! Today I decided to make a few mug rugs using Kimberbell Designs : " Mug Rugs, Volume 3"(KD585) . It comes with 12 designs and I'm starting with "Good Morning Sunshine". Now that I have discovered embroidery - future gifts for family and friends are going to be homemade. Everyone getting a mug rug! Mug rugs are a combination of a coaster and a place for snacks.
