The Patchsmith's Halloween and Thanksgiving Mug Rugs: 10 mini quilt designs for the Autumn Season

Autumn is the season of warm, cozy colours and fun celebrations. Bring that season into your home quickly and easily with this collection of autumnal Halloween and Thanksgiving mug rug patterns. Within the pages of this book you will find ten mug rug patterns themed around Halloween and Thanksgiving (there are actually twelve designs as the Ghostly Duo and the Moonlit Cat come with an alternative design each). Each design can be created using little more than scraps of fabric enabling you to play with colour and pattern whilst creating something functional and decorative for your home. Perfect for those times when you need a break from a larger quilting project or when you need a last-minute ‘thank you’ gift for a friend, relative, teacher or colleague. All the mug rugs are large enough to hold a cup and a slice of pumpkin-pie but they don’t have to be purely functional, they can double up as a piece of fabric art to display on the wall in the hall or above your work desk. The designs include: A Quilt-as-You-Go mug rug (suitable for all-year-round fun), Moonlit Bats, Spider’s Web, Ghostly Duo, Moonlit Cat, Primitive Pumpkin, Coffee and Pie, Turkey, Pilgrim Settler, Totem Pole, You will also find help and advice on fabric choices, quick-fuse applique and binding methods. Each pattern uses quick fuse applique and/or simple patchwork and each design is presented as a stand-alone pattern. The easy-to-follow instructions, colour diagrams and full size appliqué sheets will guide you as you make these functional mini quilts. So cozy up and join with the Patchsmith to patch a life of fabric, fun and friends.
