Perfectly Pieced: Citrus Mug Rug



Hi machine embroidery friends! Today I'm sharing the Citrus Mug Rug I made with the Perfectly Pieced July box. The mug rug was the bonus project and was fun to make!

The Citrus Mug Rug measures 4" x 6" and can be made in an afternoon.  I'm planning on making more 4" Citrus blocks to make a pillow or table runner ... I haven't decided yet.  I love the multiple project options that are provided each month!

--- Moonbeams: Tree of Life Blocks ---


This month we are making (2) Moonbeams Tree of Life Blocks (pattern here).   This month includes making lots and lots of half-square triangles. 

Fat Quarter Shop has Moonbeams Quilt Kits available with Strawberry Lemonade fabric by Sherri & Chelsi...it's super cute! 

As it's fun to see different version of the Moonbeams Quilt,  I'm quilting with Old Glory by Lella Boutique. (also available at Fat Quarter Shop)


 Half Square Triangles Tips for perfect blocks: 


 I  hope you are joining along with Fat Quarter Shop for the Moonbeams Charity Quilt and Stitch Along!  Both projects are gorgeous and I love that the donations support Make-A-Wish of Central and South Texas!
