Wow, it's almost a year now, since I started my Mug Rug Thursday give-a-way! Time has really flown by.
Today's mug rug, "This Old Shoe" is my favorite rug now. I can imagine my great-grandma wearing a pair of these.
I used my Pfaff to embroider these eyelets (#150, single design on the machine). I love the crackled fabric used for the shoe. I really had to dig deep to find that particular one.
I used a lighter background with the dark brown shape to make the shoe stand out.
All the fabrics are from my stash which has grown somehow......sigh!!
Design on the reverse side. I used a Sharpie to make the lines I wanted to use more visible.
The original clipart design.

Yes the 29th, the day after Thanksgiving.
We'll all be filled with turkey/dressing and other trimmings, so a day late is much needed.

It´s again a great mug rug. Your boot is fantastic. I would love to win it.
Greeting Guilitta
I really loved seeing the stages of this mug rug. You are one super-talented gal!!!
Love the old-fashioned shoe. Glad we don't need button hooks anymore in order to be shod. Enjoyed seeing how you go from an idea to the finished project.
Congratulations to Leslie n her win. Normally I would not enter to win if I already have but........I have to take a chance to win this mug rug. It is so appropriate for my girlie bedroom. thanks for a chance to win !!
Love this antique shoe mug rug! You certainly put a lot of work into this! I would love to be able to look at it everyday!
You are such an artist. Haven't seen any of your projects that I haven't loved. This shoe is so detailed. Thanks so much for these giveaways.
I have been enjoying all your mug rug designs. You are so creative!! Love the grandma shoe - it is darling. I wonder why people back then had so much smaller feet? Have you noticed that? In museums the shoes are always so very tiny!!
Wow, look at that shoe. If I win, that shoe will get hung up in my hallway. Hubby has been complaining that there is an empty spot ever since he 'borrowed' a tiny quilt to hang over a hole in the wall in the kitchen! sewingblogsarefun@yahoo.com
I couldn't help but smile when I saw this one. Thank you for sharing your blog with us and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
