Hi friends!
I made a birthday gift for
our friend June. I wanted a finish for her that was different, so I did up a mug rug. You may recall this freebie pattern I stitched back in March, that you can find right
HERE.
I stitched it for June. Yep, I knew it would be for her. Her favorite color is Duck Egg Blue, I chose a blue 28ct linen I had in my stash.
June loves bunnies. I could not resist giving this bunny a Wisper tail. ;) The rest is stitched in DMC. There is also a butterfly for our dear June of course! And sweet flowers. We both love our gardens.
Here are pictures of my garden from this weekend. Our graduation party was a success. The weather was a gorgeous 72º. No headache inducing heat for me!! The poodles brought lots of smiles with their party attire.
I will be back next time with a June finish to share with you. Thank you for your encouraging comments. You are so kind and I am glad you stopped by today. Have a great week!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Beautiful gift you created for June, perfect chart and fabric
Such a lovely gift for June - and your garden is simply beautiful.
Hi Vickie,
What a lovely mug rug for your friend!
The garden looks fabulous and such a nice view, that 'flowering chair';)
You gave me a big laugh with that last picture. Typical American poodles or what? :)
Have a good day, my friend!
Love, Carolien
The mug rug is very cute and your garden looks wonderful. The flowers are so pretty.
Such a pretty gift and your garden is so beautiful!! It's like it knew it needed to put on a show for graduation. LOL
What a cute stitch and a beautiful finish. Nice choice of fabrics to go with it.
Dear Vickie,
a particularly sweet MugRug is because you jumped from the needle. I like very much the colors and arrangement of the materials, the embroidery anyway ..smile ..
I hope you it is otherwise well
hug
Sandra
cute finish, love your garden photos
Dear Vicky,
what a precious little gift for June - I am sure she loved it!
Your garden picts are so wonderful - I love the idea of the chair in the border! Great!
Looking back to your previous post I really was amused about how you made up your sweet poodles for the party, very pretty indeed!
Have a nice (and painless) week!
Hugs
Hilda
I had seen your gift to June on her blog lately and thought that is was so absolutely perfect for her. Great stitched little piece and great finishing.
Cute mug rug. Glad you have been able to enjoy the good weather!
A sweet handy gift for June :)
Beautiful flowers, and love the fabric choice for June's mini rug.
Love the mug rug you created for June! That bunny is adorable. Your garden and flowers are beautiful. Hope you are having a good day!
The mug rug is just beautiful Vickie! What a thoughtful gift for your friend! Your garden is just beautiful....everything looks so happy there! I too had to smile at your flowering chair! I am so glad the graduation party went well and that the poodles brought many smiles! Have a good day my friend. Hugs!
What a sweet gift for June - and lovely fabrics, too! And I'm so happy to hear that you were able to enjoy the graduation celebration headache free!! I missed your last post...but oh my goodness Mabel, Henry and Murphy were so cute in their party attire. : )
Lovely gift but it is far too nice to use as a mug rug!
Glad the dogs enjoyed the party too.
Beautiful gift. Love the garden pictures:)
Very cute gift for our friend, June, Vickie! I would be afraid to use it as a mug rug--though; it is far too pretty.
Have been away visiting my mom and just noticed your previous post with your trio--how cute are those little ties and necklace. Hope they enjoyed the party--congratulations again to your young adults :)
I'm so happy and relieved that the weather cooperated with you for the big celebration!
I love that finish! I bet June loves it too. Your garden is looking beautiful! :D
Sweet mug rug!
Your garden is very pretty! :)
Hugs,
Lili

Ohh, pretty mug rug, I bet Joan was thrilled with it
Ohh, pretty mug rug, I bet Joan was thrilled with it
I have been wanting to try my hand at making mugrugs for a couple of years now... maybe this year! It could happen! I know June loved hers from you... Your garden looks great! I don't have that kind of room.... Thanks for sharing!
Your backyard is so nice and welcoming. I miss having a back lawn with being in a drought for two years we let our little patch of lawn die. Hopefully next spring we will have the funds to replace it. Glad the party was a hit.
