Finally - FMQ from my hands that looks nice!

[nyscpa2be]

I just finished my mug rug, and I finally have FMQ that looks nice! And I am always negative with myself, so thats a real compliment, HAHA. Its also my first time appliqueing with satin stitch, and first time working with rayon thread!! So happy with myself for actually trying new things!

Now for the negative - part of my bipolar is always second guessing myself. The person this is going to said she likes/celebrates Christmas. What I made is a beautiful blue and silver snowflake mug rug. Send or make another? I decorate with snowflakes for Christmas personally, but do other people? Aggghhh - the second guessing is the worst part!!!!! I'm always afraid someone won't like what I give.

Your mug rug sounds perfect. I tend to second guess my choices, too, however I have learned that there are not only zero quilt police on this forum but that there is also zero mug rug police. I'm sure whoever gets your creation will love it and the hard work you put into it. No one can ask for more than your best and you followed the guidelines set for this swap.

Please don't be so hard in yourself. Just enjoy yourself!

Snowflakes and Christmas go together perfectly!

Definitely yes for snowflakes and Christmas and as an added bonus she/he could use through the whole winter season.

Snowflakes sound beautiful - mine is a gingerbread man (not very religious).

As a NY'er, I love snowflakes both in design and falling from the sky. But I have to admit by February, I'm ready for the falling snowflakes to disappear.
Your mug rug sounds perfect. It is a gift from your heart so don't worry about it.

I think it sounds perfect for the swap. She can use it all winter long.

Congratulations! I am so happy that you are happy with your work. I am sure it is beautiful!

Of course snowflakes are okay. Doesn't everyone want sniw for Christmas? I know I do, unless I'm driving.
