Java Mug Rug Challenge

Grab a cup o' Java and read all about it!  Burgundy Buttons has teamed up with Deb Strain to challenge your creativity with a caffeine jolt!  It's a Java Mug Rug Challenge!  So grab your Java scraps, yardage, leftovers, charms packs, jellies, layers and Insul-Bright Batting and rev your design engines!

What's a Mug Rug?  It's a rug for your mug.  A mini placemat or a large rectangular coaster.  Check out some awesome Mug Rugs here.

Submit images of your final Java Mug to Leah@BurgundyButtons.com for judging.  All Submissions should be received by February 28, 2011.

Winner will be judged by Deb Strain and myself on:
  • Prominent use of the Moda Java fabric collection designed by Deb Strain
  • Overall creativity
  • Embrace of Deb's Java Vision
  • Originality
You are not required to have purchased the Java fabric from me, but gosh- it sure would be nice!  You may use supplemental fabric of your choice.  Mug should be at least 9" x 5".

Winner will also agree to post the directions for their masterpiece on this blog so take LOTS of pictures!  I will post a link to the Flikr group shortly.  Don't forget to grab a button and share!

"But what will I win", you ask?  The 1st place winner of the Java Mug Rug Challenge will receive a promotion code for $20.00 off their next purchase at Burgundy Buttons.  Second and Third Place winners will receive promotion codes for $10.00 off their next purchase at Burgundy Buttons.  All three winners win a little something special designed by Deb herself.  It's a secret!  But it may be a custom label for your rug.  shhhh...don't tell!

  1. Sounds like fun - I just got a Java charm pack and no idea what to make, so this would be a start! The fabrics are just sooooo cute and I LOVE coffee.

  3. Awesome. I bought some Java a while ago specifically for making a Mug Rug. Haven't done it yet, so I guess there is no better time!

  4. Prominent use of the Moda Java fabric collection... can you be a little more specific. Can I use one fabric or do you need to use many?
