December's Table Scraps project was inspired by the leftover bonus triangles from my Christmas gift exchange tabletopper made earlier in the month -
and by something I saw on Melisa's post a couple weeks ago. So I quickly stitched up this sweet design - a freebie from Lizzie Kate. Who knew that there are all kinds of seasonal freebies at that site?! I even used a scrap of Aida cloth for this one.
Then I put everything together like this! Just a sweet little mug rug size piece - about 9 x 7. And the perfect message for the season, too.
The backing comes from my favorite print out of the bundle that I got for the tabletopper gift.
It has a fun selvage - "Naughty and Nice!)
And the other end of the selvage strip I cut looks like this - Santa hats!
Joy's challenge for us this month included using plus signs - ✔️ and rainbow for the color. My little quilt has red and green, plus gray, cream, and white - it's a partial rainbow at least!
🎄 Peace, Joy, and Love are wished for you this Christmas! 🎄

What a great table mat. . .you incorporated it all!! Love the embroidery!
Fun little project! Gail at the cozy quilter
Very cute. Selvages can be such fun, that one definitely is.
I love your little mat! Those fabrics are so pretty. The colors are just beautiful, I love that they aren't the "traditional" red/green. What a sweet little stitchery to include in it. Don't spill coffee on it! ;)
So cute! Adding the cross stitched piece really kicked it up a notch. Perfect addition.
What a sweet little finish, great way to use little stitchings. In years past I bought several of Lizzie Kate small patterns.
What a great way to immediately put your triangle trims to use. Love how you elevated the mug rug with a seasonal needle point aphorism.
What a fun project and I love the santa hats on the selvedge.
Ooh - love how that all came together!
Your sweet mug rug is a fabulous entry for this month's TABLE SCRAPS Challenge, Diann. Enjoy!
Such a lovely mat! Adding cross stitch is a great idea, and the message is perfect. The fabrics have a vintage look to them which makes them timeless. Peace, Joy, and Love to you, Diann, and Merry Christmas!
Isn't it fun to get inspired by others? The embroidery is a great addition to the mug rug and you get to use a little piece of Aida. I love that you've used a fabric with white doves. Very symbolic. Very well done! Enjoy! ;^)
Love that Peace and Love
The cutest mug rug ever! Such a great idea adding the small cross-stitching, beautiful!
Oh Diann, I just love your mug rug and the gorgeous dove fabric is perfect for the LK stitch . Cute! Cute! Cute!
Your mugrug is absolutely adorable and perfect for this season. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!
Love the fabric and the festive mug rug, Diann! 🎄
