Mug Rugs

by sylviaweir on December 1, 2013

Several weeks ago, I posted a photo of the two mug rugs I made for a lovely lady in New York; she, in turn, sent me these fabulous rugs–with intricately turned and quilted maple leaves. They have enjoyed a place of honor on the living room coffee table; I brought them upstairs for a brief visit with my other sewing paraphernalia.

Thanks Karen–and thanks to Mischa who hosted the swap.

About this website and blog

Blogging is a natural progression for someone who enjoys the written word and beautiful imagery. My photographs are hosted at sylviaweir.smugmug.com. I am slowly transitioning all my photographs to this site and will hopefully edit them to a manageable number. In the meantime, I have organized my blog photos by year and so you may wish to merely sample the blog photos Feel free to contact me for any questions. My website here has not been fully populated but as I work on my smugmug site, I will update these pages.

More about Me

My work begins with a word, a thought, an idea, or a bit of a poem. I search through my library of images mostly on Smugmug or sometimes I go out and photograph new images. A pieced quilt pattern is sometimes chosen, sometimes I use a piece of fabric I have altered in the past. The imagery is added on using hand applique and then thread is used to add details. Each piece is meant to draw the viewer inward providing them with ample opportunities to add their own story to the piece. If the piece evokes the emotion or thought I wished conveyed, then I consider the piece successful. Sometimes I play 'what if' with fabric and paint and imagery. These might be considered equivalent to scale work in music--something I always enjoyed.
