When Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks mentioned she was hosting the Stitching Sunshine blog hop I skipped right over and signed up! Did you get it- I 'skipped' right over...okay maybe not. Here I will help you out...Now shine on me sunshine Walk with me world, it's a skippidy doo da day I'm the happiest girl in the whole U.S.A. Do you remember who sang that song? I'ts Donna Fargo. There were so many sunshine songs that flipped through my head but that is the one that helped me pick my project for this fun hop.
I wanted a little gift for a friend so I whipped up this mug rug. I found this cute pattern at Patchsmith that had the little pocket but with a butterfly applique. I just tweaked it a bit for my project.
I was thrilled to find a little piece of braid to enhance the little triangle pocket where you can insert a little yumminess.
My Janome Syline 7 helped me make this project. You might remember I bought this machine a year ago when I went to the Road To California quilt show. I have used it a lot for applique since. But I had not tried the monogram capabilities yet. It passed with flying colors. Making this project brought sunshine into my quilt room and I hope it brightens your day just a bit too.
My Primrose have been blossoming this past week so I snapped a photo to share with you.
Thank you so much for visiting on my day of the blog hop. Today is the last day of the hop so be sure to go to Carla's blog and sign up for a fun prize. And be sure to visit all the other bloggers participating as there have been a bunch of wonderful projects to inspire you.

Adorable!!! Really cute!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who sang that song. But as soon as I saw the title for your blog post in blogger reader I started singing. Funny thing, I thought about incorporating the same song into my blog post yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThe little mug rug is perfect. I may need to make one for myself. I love the idea of starting the morning with that happy song and a cup of coffee. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a perfect project for this hop and a perfect gift for a friend. It's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love that your project was musically inspired.
ReplyDeleteI was singing that song the other day! It's one of my favorites. :) Your little mug rug is adorable and will make such a cheerful gift.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are a lot of sunshine songs! And the sun is shining here today. Wonderful mug rug!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet mug rug. Isn't it fun to try to new features on our machines? Well, most of the time it is anyway. Glad you are happy with yours. It looks like it worked perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIf that don't bring a little sunshine to your day I don't know what will! It's cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilty way to bring more sunshine into life!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is just sooooo cute. What better way to start a day than with a cuppa and that adorable mugrug!
ReplyDeleteWe all need a little sunshine in our lives! Cute little mug rug. I like the little pocket!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute - I haven't tried the monogram things on my S7 yet, so you're ahead of me by a long shot! Love the idea of the little triangle where you can tuck a goodie in there. What fun!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. I like the pocket idea too.
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me singing! That is so cute, Vicki! Looks like your machine did a great job with the letters, and I like the pocket, too. Fun idea for the blog hop!

ReplyDeleteI love that little pocket in your beautiful mug rug...so sweet! It's such a cheery and bright piece. Love your primrose, too. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable mug rug! I just snapped a pic of a neighbour's stunning primroses along her fence - such a great quilt photo place, may knock on her door, step back, wearing my mask, and ask! I didn't know that's what they were, as they're huge and have different leaves than those I used to grow in Alberta.
ReplyDeleteSuch a super sweet project. I love it! What a great gift idea and so perfect for the sunshine hop. Thank you for joining it!
ReplyDeleteSweet gift for your friend :-) It's lovely with the fabrics and design you chose. It's overcast here at my neighborhood today so it's nice to see some sunshine here on the blog!
ReplyDeleteNow you have me singing, "...it's a zippidy-doo-da day! I'm the happiest girrul in the whole USA!" in my head (and hopefully only in my head!). But I'll likely have a smile on my face, so thanks. :)
