I'm back from church and waiting for the time to go to the cookie exchange :-)
my kids are at a birthday party, so I figured I'd show a few fun ideas for MUG RUGS.
I played with EQ7
Starting with a mock up of the one I made 3 of for my kids teachers.
found this fun flying geese block
what about a Christmas present? I changed the ribbon, it was different in the original block but too fussy for me.
Gotta have an american flag mug rug too
what about a cute heart for valentine's?
I saw this cute elephant, don't know who could use that, but it's cute isn't it?
Now a braid in greys with a black background.
how about some applique?
And a CRABBY mug rug
A different butterfly
since I had the american flag I HAD to try the danish flag too
and a simple school house
and a pineapple block
If any of you want the EQ file, let me know or just copy it yourself :-)

Ohhh, I bookmarked this. I'm hoping to get EQ7 for Christmas. We'll see. I'm going to get it no matter what because I've waited long enough! LOL. :-)
Maybe I'll beg you for the file when I get the software; although, I dislike begging! LOL. :-)
That elephant is cute! I like things that are out of the ordinary so he and the crab are my faves.
Thank you for posting these quick & easy ideas to give the teachers this Friday! I have been slow this year to get Christmas shopping done & projects due to an unexpected shoulder injury. I think I can manage 3-4 of these for a quick gift with some food to go with it.
Were you suggesting some of these EQ7 files were on your website somewhere? I only have EQ5, do you think they would still work?
Thanks!
Wonderful gift ideas Bea! Will have to start playing with my EQ7 a lot more.
What a great idea! :)
Love these -especially the tree and crabby one. Do you have the file somewhere??? These would be great to add to 2012's plan!
If you are giving away the EQ file, I would love it. I am thinking of mug rugs as birthday gifts this year. Thanks.
I would love to have the EQ file for the mug rugs. They are soooo cute!
They are all sooo cute, and I have to try to make some!
However, did you know that if you are giving someone an elephant-thing, it's bad luck to give them one with the trunk down. It should be up to signify good luck.
I particularly like the pineapple, but that could be because bright yellow and blue are my fav colors!
Oooooh! Thank you :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the mug rugs! I'd love to have the EQ7 file ... how would I get it (without re-creating them)? Thanks for the ideas!
My husband was born and raised in Denmark and our grandson is very proud of his heritage. I think I'll take your idea of a Dansk mug rug and make a bookmark design for him using the Dannebrog.
Wauv, they all look absolutely great. I just love playing around EQ7
Happy thoughts¨

I really like that last one--the pineapple one...I have a cool book on making those blocks and a ruler I had to have with it, that I have never used! Maybe one day I will at least make myself a little mug rug from it. Thanks for the ideas!
Inspirational. I love all of your designs for making mug rugs. Now I definitely want to use EQ7 to stretch my imagination and creativity. I'm also interested in getting a copy of your EQ file, if you are willing to share. Thank you!

Thank You and Merry Christmas
I would love to have the pattern for EQ7. Thanks.
Love your mug rug ideas!! I definitely have the mug rug bug - amde 24 before Christmas. Mostly my own almost artsy designs. Doing a few other things now - but I have bookmarked your entry. No EQ but I can copy them. Thanks!!
Too Cute. thanks for sharing your ideas!
I'm reading back posts fromthe EQ Blog and followed the link here. I love the elephant mug rug. I need to make it for my daughter-in-law who loves elephants. She'll adore it. Thanks for sharing the ideas. Am I right to assume the elephant is a block in EQ 7? If not I have several pp books that must have an elephant in them.
