| Totem Mug Rug - One of ten patterns from the Halloween & Thanksgiving Mug Rug book |
The nights are turning cooler and the leaves are beginning to change colour. So I am changing the mug rugs in my house to welcome the Autumnal season into my home.
Mug rugs are such a quick and easy way to create a homely touch. You can use novelty charm squares (5" squares) as in this Quilt-as-you-Go pattern from my Halloween & Thanksgiving pattern book (also available via Amazon):

| QAYG Halloween Fun |
Or you can use shades of green, red, brown, yellow or orange from your stash:

And whilst you are finding scraps of black felt - look for some white to make a couple of fish-bones to add to the Moonlit Cat mug rug:

The Moonlit Cat pattern is available as a single pattern or as part of the Halloween & Thanksgiving pattern book. Either way you will also receive the Scaredy Cat version to make as well:
