Patchsmith Animal and Pet and other mug rugs books on Etsy and Amazon

Animal and Pet Mug Rugs (PDF) via ETSY

One of my aims when I started as The Patchsmith ten years ago was to price my patterns to be affordable to all.  And my pattern books do just that.   I currently have seven mug rug pattern books which are available in PDF format from my ETSY store for immediate download and they are also available in paperback format via Amazon. 

Each mug rug pattern book contains ten stand-alone patterns which you can use to create fun and functional mini quilts to gift or to keep.

 

All 10 patterns are included in the Animal and Pet pattern book

But, if you only want one or two patterns from one of my pattern books it is worth checking in my ETSY store to see if I have them listed individually - there are always a few patterns that I sell individually especially for those who only want one or two.

Every book includes details of binding, fabric choice and applique methods so that you have all the information you need in one handy book.

Available in PDF form via ETSY

Also available in paperback format from AMAZON

I am currently working on my eighth mug rug pattern book which I hope to publish in a month or two.  But until then I thought I would show you the contents of some of the books over the next few weeks so you can see exactly what fun you can have with any one of these collections.

So until then ......

Ten Years as The Patchsmith

Early Bird Mug Rug 

It is ten years since I first became the Patchsmith.  Ten years since I first encountered a mug rug.   Up until that point I wasn’t really sure what a mug rug was – they are still relatively unknown here in England where we tend to use coasters.  I loved the fact that mug rugs are bigger than a coaster and therefore, they have enough room for both a cuppa and a piece of cake – afternoon tea should always include cake! 

Enough room for Tea and Cake

Since those early days, my love of mug rugs has never waned.  I love designing them, making them, the versatility and frugality of them.  I just love everything about them.

So many mug rugs - so much fun.

To celebrate The Patchsmith’s 10 year anniversary I have designed a new pattern, the Early Bird Mug Rug, which is based on my very first mug rug sketch from my 2012 journal.  

A sweet little Early Bird.

It is a great little pattern that allows you to use up those small scraps of fabric to create a functional and fun mug rug to gift or to keep.  

You can add hand-stitching if you wish .....

or one or two (very) little baby birds 

An Early Bluebird version

or you can make it up in your favourite holiday fabrics

A Christmas Early Bird 

Whatever fabrics you choose, this pattern is sure to be one that you will return to time and time again. 

As an extra special bonus this pattern will be set at a reduced price for the rest of this month.
