This is what Port Huron does to me - it inspires me! My Anchor Holds is a new mug rug pattern in my store here>: Allie-oops Designs - love the instant download from craftsy!
Based on the hymn by William C. Martin, written in 1902, this will be my morning coffee and evening tea mug rug. I need that reminder, that Jesus is my anchor and will never let the storms capsize me....
It's a quick and easy project, quick enough to make for anyone you know who might be going through the storm. I used some leftover scraps from a charm pack, don't you love being able to use up some scraps! My scrap pile has diminished by .000000000000000000001% now.
I've included already reversed templates for your convenience, a layout diagram, and step by step instructions with photos throughout. Also, the words to the hymn, which I find so inspiring.
I tried to embed a youtube video to a contemporary version, but it didn't work. So here's the link to a young lady with a beautiful voice, singing this hymn!

Such a lovely mug rug. I especially like the quote with the little boat that you have added, a truly beautiful hymn. x
Love the design, love your fabric choices. I'm filling my cart for the next week until I get $10 in it. =)
This is wonderful!! So calm and peaceful. I love the way the print mimics the waves of an ocean.
Great choice of fabrics especially for those waves!
Some gorgeous designing going on in your world. More new patterns to look forward to :)
the fabric you used for the water is perfect.
