This mug rug gets stitched in a 5×7 hoop. The stipple quilting background and applique are done in the hoop. There is just a small opening at the bottom of the mug rug that will get shut by fusing or hand sewing. Place the mug rug in an envelope and mail as a birthday greeting. You are receiving 2 stitch files: One that says “Birthday Fishes” and another one that has no wording so you can insert words of your own choosing.

Also included as part of your download is a printable pdf sheet/tag that explains what a mug rug is. Print it and cut it out and send along with your card, if you wish.
