My partner was Martha who has a lovely blog Living Life, she's in Louisana, USA...
Having never made a mug rug before, I had a good look at some wonderful tutorials & inspiring images online, then came up with these...
These fabrics are from my overload, taking up on Martha's love of gardening & using some of
her favourite colours. The stitchery is taken from a Leanne Beasley design
I did buy this fabric, how fantastic is it?! I used it as a backing, as it picks up on Martha's enjoyment
of quilt making...
The lace is from the wonderful collection of sewing items I came into from my darling Nan after she passed away. She probably bought the lace in the 1970's...
I also included in my package a couple of bags of the new Australian Afternoon Tea from Twinings.
It's been lovely to meet yet another new bloggy friend!
I have an extra-long weekend now - no school for the kids today & then a public holiday on Monday, whoopee for me!

Your mug rugs are beautiful, I love anything with stitchery.
Charming and fresh mug rugs. I'm sure Martha will love them. Very thoughtful of you to check her blog to see what she would like. I didn't know Twinings had a new tea out - will check it out.
It was lovely meeting you at the show.
They are gorgeous. The stitching is beautiful. I also love that tea too.
Wow, gorgeous mug rugs.
Lovely items winging their way to America. Pity I missed this I have not taken part in a mug rug swap.
