I have always loved fabrics. So, it is no wonder that I became a quilter. Trying to find time to quilt every day is a challenge even for a retired person such as me. Retirement means that you are just not in the workplace getting a paycheck; you are out in the world helping to make it a better place. I'll try to add a blog every day, but don't count on it. Hope your quilting makes you feel as happy as mine does!

Another Valentine Mug Mat
My mother really liked the crumb heart Valentine mug rug I made for my DH, so I decided to make one for her too. Since she loves pink, I chose all pink fabrics except the little pieces of white background. I used the pattern for Crumb Hearts for the inner block (from Bonnie Hunter's website www.quiltville.com ) and the actual pattern for Tannenbaum Mug Rug (from the same site except I substituted the heart for the inner portion of the mug rug). The pieces of pink were left over from Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt (also see her website for the pattern). It is perfect for her. My mother probably won't want to put a mug of coffee on it fearing she will spill her coffee. Well, it can be washed, after all. So refreshing and a little bit of spring in this winter blahs. Enjoy making little bits of sunshine for others!
