Book Review – The Patchsmith’s Christmas Mug Rugs

November 14, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

 

 

The Patchsmith’s Christmas Mug Rugs

Add a touch of fabric fun to your Christmas with ten seasonal mug rug designs from the Patchsmith. Easy patchwork and quick fusible appliqué combine helping you create unique handmade mini quilts to keep and to give. (If you’re wondering what a ‘mug rug’ is – it is a little quilt, larger than a coaster but smaller than a placemat. A mug rug is small enough to fit on any table or desk yet large enough to hold a cup and cookie.

They are a great way to add colour and pattern to your home or office and they make the ideal gift for friends and family.) Open up the pages of the Patchsmith’s Christmas Mug Rug collection and you will find full-size appliqué sheets, colour diagrams and easy-to-follow instructions. Each design works as a stand-alone pattern. You will also find illustrated instructions on binding methods and a quick and easy way to hang your little quilts. The designs include: Gift Bag and Gift Parcels Reindeer Country Tree Tree Decorations Snowman Robin’s Gift Three Trees Mistletoe Santa’s Wheel Three Kings So join the Patchsmith today for some seasonal fabric fun and make your home the unique place you want it to be.

Weekly Precut Fabrics For Quilting Inspiration

Every quilter hits a creative lull from time to time. Maybe you’ve finished a big project and aren’t sure what to start next, or maybe life has been so busy that your sewing machine hasn’t seen daylight in weeks. Fat Quarter Shop’s Precut of the Week has a way of jumpstarting inspiration right when you need it.

Each Monday offers a little surprise — a curated precut bundle that might open the door to a new idea. Sometimes the colors speak to you, sometimes the scale of the prints, and sometimes just the ease of grabbing a coordinated bundle is enough to reignite your creativity.

For even more inspiration, these internal articles pair beautifully with precut sewing:

  • Beginner quilt projects
  • Easy fat quarter quilts

I love how precuts simplify the process. No fussing with measurements or debating which prints match — just open the bundle, choose your pattern, and enjoy the rhythm of sewing. For a creative reset, charm packs and layer cakes are especially good because they spark quick wins.

If you’re feeling stuck, try browsing this roundup for scrap-friendly inspiration:

  • Scrap quilts to try

Let each Monday be a gentle reminder that creativity is always waiting for you, even in the smallest moments.
