Mug Rug

So I signed up for a Mug Rug swap but for some reason I was forgotten, missed or whatever.  So my Friend Leona over at Leona's Quilting Adventure offered to do a swap with me for a mug rug, well I said yes of course.  I have never made a Mug Rug so I was thinking long and hard about this and how I wanted it to look.

I found some fabric it is called - Collection for a cause HOPE - and it has the colours that Leona likes and I made this Mug Rug for her.

So I did a Nine Patch and then on the other side I did a Signature Block from Kathleen Tracy - Sentimental Quilter.  In stead of signing it I put "Friends are the sunshine of life - John Hay 1871" I really hope that Leona will like this.  I loved making it that I might make a few for my Christmas Box.
