Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Rita C.]

Sorry for your loss Brenda. 36 is far too young to die and so quickly too, very cruel. Then your neighbour and I am sorry about your labs as well. That's a lot of loss in a very short space of time. Give it time, the pain will pass.

Nancy, what a gorgeous mug rug for Charae. So beautifully done, honestly, it looks perfect. Charae I know you will enjoy it.

Brenda, be strong, she is near you all the time.
sorry for your loss

Look at the beautiful MugRugs I received from Jane yesterday:


The background on the bigger one is a variegated metallic thread? What kind is it? I've never seen that before...
And the pinwheel (no that's not it... hourglass?) construction on the smaller one is very interesting... :?:

Thank you so much Jane!

I will post the picture in Show&tell as well.

Beautiful mug rugs, Jane!

Andree, I'm not sure what brand Jane used but a lot of the thread manufacturers have variegated metallic thread. Superior and FilTec are two examples that I have at home.

[Norma H.]

Beautiful mug rugs. Jane, you must tell us which thread you used. I think we are more or less becoming thread junkies, so we need our fix :lol:

[Norma H.]

Brenda - so sorry to hear about all your losses, what a difficult time for you to go through. Big hugs for you.

Nancy, what beautiful feathers in your quilting

[Charae H.]

Terrific, Jane!

[Renata L.]

Very, very pretty, Jane! Perfect for spring!

Beautiful Jane, the pebble quilting must have taken ages.

[Nancy R.]

Woo hoo! Look what I found in my mailbox today! A beauty from Heather:



Isn't it wonderful! The fabric is beautiful, I love the colors and her stitching is perfect! I love her use of specialty stitches. Here's a close-up:



And, finally, the back:



Isn't it wonderful? Thank you so much Heather!! (And great job on the binding!!)

So glad it got there, Nancy! The fabrics are all Brazilian fabrics which I wanted to use The back is a print that is a very famous cobble stone sidewalk pattern throughout Brazil, most famously used along the beach at Copacabana, but used in most cities in Brazil.

I received mine from Jane and you as well, just need to get photos and post those up! They are gorgeous!!

All of mine have been mailed out now, too, so you all should start seeing them soon, those I was sending to
