With All My Heart: Top Mug Rug Designs of 2013

In my opinion, this was the year for mug rugs! What is a mug rug? It is smaller than a placemat, but larger than a coaster. So cute!

I have Mug Rugs as one of my Pinterest boards, and I like to see what other people like. I basically use Pinterest as my "Popularity Board". If others like it, then more than likely the person I make it for will like it as well.

Here is a list of the top 10 mug rug designs that were repinned from my Pinterest board in 2013.

1 - By The Patchwork Tea House. This holiday design received the most repins and was only posted for 5 days in December. This is definitely a must make!!

2 – Scottie Mug Rug Pattern by the designer The Patchsmith. You can purchase this pattern over at Craftsy.com.

3 – Life is Short, Drink Coffee First. QuiltingDiva had this item listed in her Etsy shop. I think this mug rug has been sold, but she has other designs in her shop very similar to this one, such as Sip and Savor.

4 – Matryoshka doll. Mug rug made by Donna at Churchill Park Studio for a mug rug swap. She did an excellent job on this one!

5 - PDF Breast Cancer Awareness Mug Rug / Mini Quilt Pattern by CraftingwLisaMarie. Pattern available for purchase and instant download from her Etsy store.

6 – WoW!! What a difference it makes when you chose the right fabric. The pinks and coordinating fabric are just gorgeous in this mug rug. This image was posted on Flickr by karensc0sm0s.

7 – Christmas Holiday Quilted Mug Rugs, Cardinals and Pinecones by bonnpati at Etsy. Rats, this design is no longer available. You can visit her store for other awesome designs.

8 – Such a beautiful coffee cup mug rug design by Hexehusli Shop. The pattern is available for purchase. (This site is in German, but Google Translate will convert to English for you).
