Pansy Mug Rugs. I love this pattern and this is just the first set of many that I will be making for gifts. A special thanks to Gail for her help.

Thank you so much. I just received word today that my granddaughter is engaged to be married. I can think of some lovely things to make for her with these. Happy stitching and thanks again.

These are so pretty. I am in awe that something like this can be digitized. They are so realistic.

I love them Teresa. Beautiful colors. Just something I've been doing with mine. Pattern says use 2 pieces of water soluble. I use one. Less expensive. I don't rinse mine either. I just keep a wide craft paint brush and a baby food jar of water in sewing room and go around edges to get rid of wss.

Thank you. I'm going to try one layer the next time because I am going through a lot of stabilizer very quickly. I do my edges the same way, with a brush dipped in hot water. My scrap bag doesn't offer much in the colors that I want so I am anxiously waiting to get to a bigger city to get more fabric.

My two cents...glob69, if you are using these as coasters and someone spills on them, that may start to dissolve the wss inside and make a sticky mess on the coaster, just a thought.

These are stunning and the colours truly beautiful. In a way they are almost far too good to use as mug rugs. I could see these being used as part of an indoor flower arrangement if mounted on florist wires. Superb job.

Thank you. That is a good idea. I am going to use some to decorate a purse.

Welchen Stabilator haben Sie in den Rahmen gespannt?
(Weil die Ränder so schön sind.)

I'm guessing that this is written in German. I'm sorry. I don't speak German. so I don't know what your question is.

gerryvb by gerryvb 29 May 2016

the question was: what kind of stabilizer you did use in the hoop, because the edges of the projects are so veryvnice.

gigimaus by gigimaus 29 May 2016

"war die Frage: welche Art von Stabilisator Sie in den Reifen verwendet haben, weil die Ränder der Projekte so veryvnice sind."
Yes, I like too know,witch Stabilisator You did use?

queenofhearts by queenofhearts 29 May 2016

I used 2 layers of WashAway AquaMesh because that is what I have on hand. I'm sure any wash away will work. glob69 says she only uses one layer so I am going to try that the next time to save on stabilizer if possible. The instructions tell you to wash out the extra stabilizer but I just brush the edges with a brush dipped in hot water.

Thank You for Your answer.

Love the orange colours.Finding the right colours amongst all your fabrics can be difficult.These pansies are addictive ,made 20 so far but have to stop to do other things.

Thank you, it was seeing yours that made me want this pattern. Have you incorporated any of the leaves into the flowers yet? I made some leaves tonight but I am still thinking about how to add them to the flowers. But I have other things to do, like housework. Not as much fun but a necessity.

killiecrankie by killiecrankie 30 May 2016

Haven't decided what to do with the leaves yet.My machine needs to go for a service . The garden needs to be weeded & it gets dark by 5pm. Our long summer came to a sudden stop on Saturday,not use to the sudden drop in temperature yet.

I plan to make a trio of them to put on a purse and I will put the leaves on those. I made some leaves but I haven't decided how I want to attach them.

My next ones will be purple. Right now I need to find the right scraps. I started with the yellow/orange because I had enough fabric to do a set. Hancock Fabric is gone and that is really impacting my ability to find what I need.
