Aces High Mug Rug

Aces High mug rug pattern

I'm learning how to play Bridge.  I go to classes every week and the course is TWO YEARS long!   It is a complicated game but half way through the lesson we make time for a cuppa.  So it seems only fitting that I should have somewhere to rest my cup whilst sorting through my cards.

I gathered some scraps and spent a couple of hours designing and making two sets of 'Aces High' mug rugs.  The pattern includes the traditional Friendship block (as shown above) and a simpler Four Friends block (see below) when time is short and I need a gift in a hurry.

I think the red, white and blue set would make a great Father's Day gift; Dad could keep one at home and another at work.  

And if you know somebody who is addicted to Bridge (as I am becoming) then how about making a set - one to keep and one to gift to your Bridge partner.  

The Aces High Mug Rug pattern is just $2.50.

  2. So cute! I love playing cards; however, I have not learned Bridge yet. My parents and brother both played. It is a complicated game and eventually, I would like to learn. Possibly, I'll sew one of these for my Mom.
