I made a turkey coffee mug rug for November....

You can make your own!

I have been dying to use this turkey fabric I had....but never did anything with it....until now,

I chose the coordinating fabric....just scraps and whipped it up!

It was easy....I did it at night when I should have went to bed....my eyes weren't the best...lol

Here is a diagram to give you an idea of how it goes together.

Here is some general instructions:

Use a 1/4" seam allowance. Use the chart above.

Sew the featured fabric (turkey) next to 3 strips of coordinating fabric.

Press well. Sew 1" strips all the way around. It is a good idea for the fabric border strips to be the same as the backing fabric. It makes the strips resemble quilt binding. Cut excess fabric and press. Layer batting and backing fabric (slightly larger than top) then lay top over backing (right sides together). Pin in place. Sew 1/4" around mug rug leaving a 3" opening. Turn inside out. Sew opening closed. Quilt squiggle circles through the featured fabric...and also quilt down strips and around the borders.

I printed the diagram out so I could have it near me for referencing.
