Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Norma H.]

For all the lounge lizards: this thread has no closing date, so you might want to join when we mug ruggers are exhausted, if that ever happens :roll: . It sure is so much fun to see all the creativity brought up here. I have those I received hanging on a wall in my sewing room and they are very much admired, when people come visit. My friends love to hear about how we do it and my two sewing friends asked me if I would teach them my special rug, so that's what we will do in a week's time.

I still have Lorchen, Norma and Charae on my "to do" list. I have not forgotten. My "I have got to stitch syndrome" sometime pulls me in directions I've not exactly planned. Right now my best quilting buddy and I are up to our necks in creating a project for church to be used this Christmas season. Our sanctuary is newly renovated with a new chancel/communion table. Just a few weeks ago she and I decided it needed something new for Christmas. Well, my Christmas shopping, decorating and all other things that can be pushed aside have been pushed. Our plan was to try to complete the project for this Christmas, knowing that if we didn't start it, it would never get done. ….also knowing at worst it would be done by next Christmas. We have some time. Mary and Joseph did not get to Bethlehem until Christmas Eve. Who said all the decorations have to be done the first day of Advent. Wish us luck. I will post results. Forgive me for putting all of you on hold. Like Wendy after Christmas I will want to add to my Mug Rug exchange list.

Beautiful mug rugs, Wendy, Maureen and Rita.

Robyn,

Send me your mailing address so I can send you one.

Hey Vicki - I sent you an email - just wondered if you received it? xx

Robyn,

I did receive your email. So sorry it took so long to answer you, I have not had much time to spend on the thread.

Yesterday I received a beauty from Maureen. I wanted to post it today, but the weather got so grey, that I couldn't take a decent photo. It deserves better, so I'll just wait for better conditions.

I must share with you the beautiful mug rug I received from Maureen. I find the clean lines and colors so appealing! What a beautiful job!



Thank you so much, Maureen!

Beautiful job, Maureen. Very contemporary--like it a lot--lucky Norma! And the quilting is just perfect for the piecing.

I, too, received a beautiful mug rug from Maureen today, in bold modern colors, improvisational with a fun geometric FMQ pattern in variegated thread. The edging picks up the colors of the rug and the mix of hand dyed and commercial fabric is masterfully combined. Love the hand dyed backing too--Maureen, you did not leave out a detail! Love it, love it, love it!!! And the herbal teas are so nice too--thank you!
