{tab=Description}

What a fun mug rug to let somebody know you love them – not only on Valentine’s Day but all year round. This project is completely stitched in the hoop; no additional hand or sewing machine stitching required. The background is quilted with a heart motif and the side borders are attached during the embroidery process. The hat and heart are appliqued.
