Mug rugs can be the perfect little gift to make for a friend's birthday. So I was thrilled when Amanda, The Patchsmith , released her newest mug rug pattern the other day! Her timing was perfect!

I dug up some of my beautiful Dogwood blossoms scraps to make my own Log Cabin Cross mug rug.
I just love using Amanda's patterns!!
** The directions are clear and the diagrams are excellent. And always accurate!!I
I print out the directions and follow them right on my cutting mat. ( I can easily get confused with "just reverse the block" kind of directions! That's not the case with The Patchsmith directions! )
** She includes the size of each component, so I can trim as I go, to make the final block the accurate size !
** This pattern even includes a foundation paper pieced pattern to make the log cabin block! I'll try that method the next time I make the cross.
** This pattern also includes directions for making little hanger pockets, to use the log cabin cross as a mini wallhanging !

I apologize for the faded colors in my photos. The weather was not cooperating with the pale pink colors.

And here is the back of the mug rug... I'll tell you a secret.....
 |
| I used the "wrong side" of the fabric, to get the muted colors.... shhhhhhhh! |
This little log cabin cross would make a beautiful gift as a wallhanging for a baptism, a confirmation, and for Easter!

This mug rug, and oodles more, can be found at The Patchsmith { HERE }.
There's lots of time to make one for Easter! And you'll find many more designs that are perfect for Spring time!!
