Mug Rugs Or Desk Art?

Our two youngest granddaughters spent a couple of days with us this week and being that their mommy's birthday is coming up, we thought that it would be fun to make gifts for her.  I gave the girls some plain white fabric backed with freezer paper and had them draw pictures on it with fabric markers.  All it took after that was a quick heat set with the iron, a little backing, batting and easy grid quilting.  I just don't know if we should call them mug rugs or desk art!

Now those are cute ! Their Mom will love them.
This is something I should get the girls here to do..Maybe we will try that today, as I do have some fabric markers they keep trying to use on paper .
Thank you for posting this wonderful Idea!!

No matter how they end up being used..they are the very best art form there is!!! I love children's art turned into just about anything, but with fabric and thread is as good as it gets in my opinion. Love them!

May I steal this idea? Might not use it for several months but it would be a great grandkid project.
