Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Hannelore N.]

I hope that Rita will sing it to accompany the actions!

Well it wouldn't make an awful lot of sense if she didn't. Can't wait to see it!

[Rita C.]

Okay, life got in the way today so I will try to do it tomorrow morning. It doesn't work in the evening because I don't have enough light.

I love this little wall quilt - Think it could be miniaturized into a mug rug?

[E.M. T.]

I'm sure you could adapt it ! I might give it a try !! If that's Ok?

[Lois B.]

Terrie, That little quilt is adorable.

[wendy w.]

Just patiently waiting :P
This Easter my brother and I were shooting for a instructional video for my Pfaff. It is going to Gambia in Africa to make a sewing group happy. They have old Singer's and so much want an electric machine. When I bought my big Bernina I decided it was time for the Pfaff to work in another environment. Both my brother and I are new to the video stuff, so we had many great discussions on how to do it. They don't speak much English, so we had to make the pictures talk. Fortunately we found a scanned version of the printed manual so they can have English text to go with the Danish manual.
My brother wants to learn how to edit videos, so that's what he is working on now. We found out that for future videos we have to buy some lamps. It's too difficult to get consistency in the lighting with just daylight.

Long talk while you are preparing to entertain us

[Rita C.]

Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado.....for your delectable entertainment, I present to you....

TWO LITTLE DICKIE BIRDS! (Possibly my finest hour :!: :roll: :shock: :lol: )

[E.M. T.]

Marilyn, I'd love to see a version of that tea quilt in a mug rug. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

I still can't begin my mug rugs until after April and the first week of May are over - busy, busy, busy - quilt shows, and I'm going away this weekend. I wonder how many pages I'll have to catch up on when I get back? Can someone save my seat?

[E.M. T.]

Never fear ! We'll be here waiting for you ! Have fun and wish me happy birthday tomarrow !

[E.M. T.]

Fan-tab-u-lo-sa video Rita, just how my Mum used to do it too! sometimes she would use the edge paper from stamps for her dickie birds (when we had lick & stick stamps)

Your quilt border is looking great too :wink:

[E.M. T.]

Happy Birthday for Tomorrow Marilyn (in case I don't make it tomorrow :roll: ) Do you want me to save you some cake from sunday's party?

[ANNE E.]

Rita that is exactly how my Mother taught it to me and I used to show it to my children, they thought it was magic.
Great video 8)
Marilyn, Happy birthday for tomorrow
