Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Rita C.]

Lovely mug rugs Robyn and Toni. Lucky you Charae! Loved your photos from Alden Lane, you lucky duck. Great to see you there with Margarita - both of you lookin' good.

[E.M. T.]

Love ALL the pictures !!

Charae, your mug rugs are so nice--Robyn and Toni, you are so good at this!!! Charae, thanks for the photos of Alden Lane, brought back wonderful memories--we lived for a year in Monterey, right next to Pacific Grove and Asilomar, breathtakingly beautiful area, lots to see and do!

I too have a mug rug to share today. I received this beauty in the post a few days ago from Nancy. It is so lovely. Look at that musical fabric! I love the movement in it - it must be doing a Kerry Polka. :lol: It is beautifully and perfectly executed Nancy thank you so much. I also received some goodies. This was an very unexpected parcel so I am doubly delighted.



Don't worry, I will find good homes for all those wonderful goodies Nancy. :wink: Happy dancing.

[Renata L.]

Oh, Nancy, I love what you did with the colors and fabrics of Rita's mug rug--such a beautiful flower with movement given by the hexie design as well as the varying types of prints of the fabrics. What a great lesson!

[Charae H.]

Wow! Another gorgeous example of pieced hexies. Great Job, Nancy. You are very lucky, too, Rita!

[Nancy R.]

Do you like the beautiful writing on the label?? With my nose to it while writing I was feeling really proud because it felt so straight! Then I stepped back....

Guess I need to draw guide lines, but I'm so excited when I get to that point that I always make the mistake of thinking I can wing it! At least it's just the back!

Nancy--I love the way you finished the back--I will have to try to remember that the next time I do those little hexies.

Nancy, too hard on yourself, the writing is charming and I did not even notice the lines drifting because the whole package was so delightful!!!

Thanks for taking us to Alden Lane.

I really wanted to push Edit.

Nancy I can't figure out how you did the back of that hexie. I like it! I would like to know how. I love to give away those hexie blocks. Great way to play with the stash!

[Jane R.]

Beautiful muggies, Toni and Robyn. Love the polka dots in both of them. And thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea that was in my packet too.

And Nancy too. Hexies are such wonderful little blocks and offer a great variety of movement. Guess I need to give the pieced/split ones a try one of these days. I, too, would love to know how you finished the back like that.

Fascinating to watch all the different muggies. Love them all!

Rosemary, would she come 'en natural' or somehow covered??

Are you at home tomorrow?? Even though I'm a member of the union, I cannot support the teachers tomorrow because my contract states I'm 'Support', so my employer could take disciplinary action if I don't turn up for work in the morning, even though the school is closed to students. Rolling eyes..... A whole day of boring admin. stuff.

I could make her some boxer shorts if you like :wink:

I'm not in the union, and will be in work, I haven't heard that my school is closing for today, but I do have Izzy home for company. CBBes is even worse now she has supposedly grown out of it :roll: I had better start cracking the whip and getting her to do all outstanding homework....

[Norma H.]

Wonderful looking muggies everyone!
