Aren't you a nice friend. Those are beautiful. I love the way you took care to match the fabrics and colors with the tea cups. Your friends are so lucky! Beautiful work.

Absolutely adorable!!!! GREAT job!

[quote=cowgirl]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!

I've never LOOKED for old cups and saucers------don't know if I could find any here. But I will look. ----------for next Christmas

They are all so pretty, my favorite is the 5th one.

Absolutely beautiful!!! WOW!!! Your quilting designs make them a delight to view! Real eye candy with the tea cups as inspiration for the choice of fabrics. What very fortunate friends.

Those are absolutely the most beautiful
"mug rugs" I've ever seen. The name just
doesn't do them justice. You are a very
talented gal!! Thanks so much for sharing.
You have some very lucky friends who will
treasure them I'm sure!! Each one is a
gift of love. Hugs, Sharon

I was thinking the same thing myself. Something like "Victorian ..." We should have a contest to come up with a name that describes these exquisite mats for lovely china cups.

:-D

How nicely the cup & saucers match the mug rugs.
Great

wisconsin 11-30-2010 06:12 PM

Is there a pattern for them. They are wonderful!!

Carol Carter 11-30-2010 06:16 PM

Very vintage and really fabulous. Great Job

tjradj 11-30-2010 06:55 PM

They are very pretty. I agree that "mug rug" just doesn't fit. What about "Tea mates" or "China doilies" ?

JudyNH 11-30-2010 07:02 PM

Oh so lovely - reminds me of having of "cup of tea" with my dearly departed mother..........thanks for the memories

vwquilting 11-30-2010 07:13 PM

I love them all so Romantic

darlin121 11-30-2010 08:09 PM

What a beautiful china quilt! The fabric matches the cups elegantly. Very pretty. You can tell you worked hard on them.

RuthysRaggs 11-30-2010 08:15 PM

Wow, these are awesome! What a wonderful gift. You could sell these.

Drew 12-01-2010 05:42 AM

Beautiful mug rugs! I love the idea of having the spoon pocket! Lucky ladies - these plus treats!!

marmalade 12-01-2010 08:38 AM

What a beautiful gift! Your friends are very lucky!

wraez 12-01-2010 12:24 PM

Those are absolutely stunning... the rugs match the tea cups perfectly!

I have to make 2 mug rugs for swaps and have been procrastinating, but your creations have given my a push to start them today.

thanks for sharing!

Oh my they are so cute!!!!

cowgirl 12-02-2010 08:52 AM

Really don't have a pattern. Just try to make them 8or 9 inches X 11 or 12 inches. I just make everything like for a quilt only really little. Pinswheels, made 4 from 2 5 inch squares. Use a lot of 2 1/2 inch for squares and 1 inch to make stripes. Dresdan plates started with 3 inch strips. If it is too big just cut them down. Have fun, if you don't like what you started with just change to something else. Nice thing, if you don't like it there isn't much fabric wasted.
