GA - It's a Wrap - mug rugs with a pocket to hold a gift card


 I made up these mug rugs with some of my supply of fabric scraps collected over the years!!! Some were scraps from a quilting group and had some sewn pieces - the little squares on the top left, the half square triangles on the top and bottom right and the bottom left.  It was fun to play and come up with coordinating pieces to finish these up.  I added a pocket on the left hand side where a gift card can be inserted to make this a "gift in a gift".  After inserting the gift card you would simply roll it up and tie with a ribbon or cording and your packaging would be done and look beautiful.  No waste!!  The pocket can then be used to store tea bags, sweetener or inspirational quotes!!! These are a bit on the larger size as mug rug go - about 6" x 11" but they would keep your desk area clean of crumbs, etc and easily washable if they get dirty.  Therese
