I've been on a roll with heart designs this week! After I finished up my Table Scraps project for February, I made my mom a Valentine mug rug. Most of it is machine pieced and quilted, but I did spend an evening hand stitching the binding and adding some hand quilting to the heart. Mom was pleased with it, so I am, too!
This measures 10 x 7.
Most evenings I continued working on this little cross-stitch piece from PinkernPunkin Quilting and Stitching. Although I don't think it will be fully finished in time for Valentine's Day, I've still made pretty good progress this week!
The little Valentine girl needs some more arrows and a bow -
maybe that means she's Cupid?! And then there's a border all the way around.
This will make for some good Super Bowl sewing!

Diann you are the queen of hearts! Love the heart piece for your mom and that cross stitch is ever so sweet! Have a good day!
On a roll, indeed! Love the mug rug and your stitching ain't too shabby, either.
Such cute projects! I'm sure your mom will enjoy the mug rug with its cheerful colors. Perfect for a nice cup of warm tea or coffee, and maybe a heart-shaped cookie or two! That little cross stitch is looking great! I haven't been doing any hand sewing; my right hand is terribly sore, and I'm not sure why, so I'm letting it rest as much as I can.
Two cute projects.
The mug rug is lovely, and a perfect Valentine's gift for your mom.
Happy Sunday, Diann! Happy cross stitching.
Sounds like a great project for the Super Bowl. Looks great! You are so talented in so many areas!

Cuteness overload here, Diann. Your mum's mug rug is sweet with hearts spilling over. Love the heart fabric, and that shade of blue is perfect. As for your little girl with the little sheep, just adorable.
