Caffeine Carpets
I had to make a little present for John”s kindy teachers so I search the internet and low and behold everyone is making these things called, “Mug Rugs”. Hmm, not so fussed on the name, so I renamed them “Caffeine Carpets” ( or maybe “Cuppa Mates” ).
For my first attempt, I used a border print for the pocket and hexie flower and aged muslin for the background and backing. The hexies have 1/2″ sides.

If you could rename the Mug Rug, what would you call it?
I had to put a picture of my Cool Poodle. He has just been sheared for summer.

It's gorgeous. Interesting, the hexagon flower appeared subsided at first sight.

Yes, keep the name Caffeine Carpet!!
Seems funny to hear you say 'summer' whilst we get all covered up under quilts for the winter!

Caffeine carpet – what a great name! I like all of the names already suggested above too!! Since I drink diet 7-up I guess mine could be called soda saver. I love the little hexagons in the caffeine carpet you made.
