Microwave “Mug Rug”

 Years ago Julie made me a mug rug, and I used it in front of the microwave oven. Since I have redecorated the kitchen, I wanted to make a new one. I have lots of scraps so I measured how big the new one should be, and made a big slab.

I cut a piece of quilt batting, a piece of fabric for backing, 


and then had some fun quilting it in wavy lines.


Then I added binding.


Here is the new mug rug in place, andI really like it.

  1. I like it too, blues are one of my favourite colours, and it looks wonderful below the grey Toshiba.

  2. Thanks for the good idea! While my microwave is above my stove, I can use this idea to make one for in front of my toaster oven. Belated Happy New Year!

  3. love this one! I have made quite a few mug rugs but never one for in front of the microwave. How do you use it there? As if I need another reason to make more!
