Actually, I ALREADY told you in these two videos, so take a look at them if you care to.
The following video shows you my Quilt Shop sale haul.
And THIS will be my final mug rug while here in Edmond. I have already packed the car, and I am heading home in the morning.
Following is a picture of the FINISHED mug rug I made for my Mom after I quilted it pretty densely.
NOTE: For this kind of quilt fill, you really need to do it BEFORE you put the backing on it because the quilting causes shrinkage. This was very straight on all edges before I quilted it.
This was pretty hard to do on my regular sewing machine. Very tiny stitch areas and my one far away eye and one close up eye didn't want to focus very well. Still turned out pretty nice. Hope Mom likes it.
Here is my personal rug mug finished. I really like it. I stitched in the ditch all around the design and called this one "done".
The quilt itself was folded in half and hanging on a wire from the ceiling. I had to take two pics to capture it. Don't care for the borders at all, but I like the rest.
Hugs, Joy
Oh my!!! What a wonderful gift from God you received today. When i teach my class at church I say often, "God is still performing miracles today...we just have to open our hearts to see them" May I share your story of how God performed His healing in this relationship?
ReplyDeleteOf course. Many more things I'm just waiting to see how HE handles. Broken vessels that only HE can put back together. He is an AWESOME God!

This is beautiful. I can't wait to see your version.
ReplyDeleteJoy, where did you get the singing bird embroidery design? I'd love to have it!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmm. I know I replied to this, but I don't see it here. It was called Singing Birdie Spools (I think) at Emblibrary.com. I got it free some time ago. They still have it, but I doubt it is still free.

I love the quilting on your Mom's mug rug. Did you use a darning foot on your regular sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am new to your blog and videos, but I want you to know that I THOROUGHLY enjoy them and look forward to your videos each week! When my husband catches me staring at my phone with a smile and laughing, he will say, "Are you watching another Joy video?" Thank you for your openness about being a Christian and the happiness you bring to my day!

I used a clear plastic foot with the hole in the middle. The feed dogs were DOWN.

Hello my friend. Thank you again for the great weekend. Yes, yes, yes you were supposed to stay. Perhaps this is the start of more healing between the two of you. You are so faithful and that is what I love about you. When we wait on the Lord he brings us so many blessings. I am sending back your pattern, your garage door opener and another surprise for Jerry from Jim. You are probably back in Kingston by now so enjoy the rest of your week. I will be making shirts for Jim this weekend. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!Have a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, JOY!!
