WOW!! So pretty and elegant :D:D:D

Thanks so much. The patterns are just made up in my head. The little pinwheels are 2 1/2 inch squares. The dresden plate is cut from 3 inch strips. (That's my fav) But really just mini anything you do in a full size quilt. About 8 or 9 inches x 10-12 inch rectangles. The pockets are about 2 1/2 x 4 inches. Just have fun. It's a great way to use up scraps. (and I've always had trouble with binding and it has been a great way to practice those nasty corners!) Found you still need a 2 1/2 in strip for the binding just like full size projects.

I think you should have a BYOMR tea party so they are all on display at once. They are all simply lovely.

Wow, simply beautiful.

sewnsewer2 11-28-2010 02:10 PM

Wow! Those are beautiful! Your friends will love them. I like how you matched the fabrics with the cups.

KookNKwilt 11-28-2010 04:14 PM

OMG! Those are GEORGEOUS!! What lucky friends you have and what a creative quilter you are!!

I love your mug rugs. You have done an outstanding job.

MaRanda 11-28-2010 05:01 PM

You must be a very special person to many people!

sidmona 11-28-2010 05:03 PM

They are all so beautiful!

Jennifer22206 11-28-2010 05:06 PM

oh those are gorgeous. Love the lace accents. :) I am partial to the dresden fan one!

maryel 11-28-2010 05:16 PM

Love them. Especially love the pinks, but then again, I LOVE pink!

fluffyme02 11-28-2010 05:21 PM

I'd just about give my right arm for any of them. They are absolutely gorgeous!!!! The Victorian patterns are wonderful, but to make them in pinks and lilacs/lavendars, makes them even more beautiful!!!!! Great work!!! Thanks for sharing.

These placemats will knock your friends socks off, they are so delightful to look at. Wonderful job. Janice

These are absolutely Beautiful!! I love the fabrics you chose.

just-sew-together 11-29-2010 03:46 AM

Ab-sew-lutely stunning!!! Oh sew feminine and elegant.

PattyH 11-29-2010 04:07 AM

These are stunning. It must have taken a long time finding matching fabrics to the cups. GREAT JOB!!!

Judiw 11-29-2010 05:05 AM

The other ladies have said it all....Each one was prettier than the last and impossible to choose. I had thought of doing some with just mugs but unable to find any nice mugs to match up. This rural area leaves a lot to be desired for shopping. I love the tea cups. I have a collection from my Mom and can't believe I didn't think of that ...

Patched 11-29-2010 06:06 AM

Where did you get your cups and saucers?

Zephyr 11-29-2010 06:09 AM

I tried a mug rug yesterday and it's okay but yours are so much prettier. I especially like the pastels and a little lace.

Marilyn1 11-29-2010 06:15 AM

I JUST love them.

TexasSunshine 11-29-2010 06:23 AM

Love them, friends will too.

These are so pretty. You have a great eye for detail. Can I be your friend too? this is a very neat and special gift for your friends. I know they will love and apreciate them. Nice job!

Mariposa 11-29-2010 07:00 AM

Very pretty! You do really nice work, and the matching cups are a bonus! Need more friends-? :)

Melinda in Tulsa 11-29-2010 07:01 AM

Donna P 11-29-2010 07:41 AM

They are just lovely

cowgirl 11-29-2010 07:45 AM

Do you know I just start making something, so not one of them is the same size but most but most around 9 x 12 inch rectangle. I try to keep them so I don't have to piece the binding.

I found the cups and saucers in a couple antique shops. There were lots in Berlin, Ohio. Found a couple in Marietta, Ohio. They are pretty cheap b/c there are just one of them. Now I'm addicted to going to antique shops. Someone help me!

Great job! Where did you find the beautiful teacups?


crazyforquilting 11-29-2010 08:05 AM

Those are so cute. Can I be your friend, lol.

quiltmom04 11-29-2010 08:14 AM

Absolutley beautiful! There should be a "prettier" name than mug rug. These are too lovely to be called something that sounds so clunky!!

midwestqltr 11-29-2010 08:24 AM

Very elegant! I hope you post pictures of the last four.

Murphy 11-29-2010 08:40 AM

These are beautiful.

dphelps 11-29-2010 08:47 AM

These are all so very beautiful and such thoughtful gifts. I know you put a lot of love into each of these lovely gifts. Could I get on your friends list? hehe

Thanks so much for the measurements. Just by looking at all the wonderful comments...you've made a TON of friends that could keep you pretty busy looking for cups at antique shops! (Include me in the list!) lol! ;-) ;-) ;-)

nwm50 11-29-2010 09:05 AM

Oh how adorable these all are ! The purple one is my favorite as it reminds me of my GD name...Violet!
I have found some teacups such as these at the thrift store, where i made mine into beed feeder! Using copper pipe, glue the saucer to cups & then stick into the ground & VIOLA!..a birdfeeder! Gotta put feed inside the cups, u know....lol

Jenni M 11-29-2010 09:17 AM

Since we are practically neighbors...could I please come over for a nice cup of tea....and a farewell gift upon my departure!!! LOL. Can you say...SECRET PAL???
