Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Lorna B.]

I wanted to share this absolutely gorgeous beach mug rug that Wendy gave me. Don't you love it?!

[Lorna B.]

I've also posted in Show & Tell a few other pictures of mug rugs I made last December as Christmas gifts for the folks that work for me. They were all handing out these wonderful homemade baked goods, chocolates and candies. So I made them each a mug rug and included a tea bag and a coffee stick. It was a perfect complement for all that gooey sweet stuff.

I know this isn't technically a part of the exchange, but wanted to share since this exchange inspired me so.

Thanks to all!

Wendy, Lorna's mug rug is so beautiful, especially how you quilted the sky! Is summer around the corner? :lol:

[Renata L.]

We are happy to have us join us Lorna--even if you aren't exchanging.

Beautiful mug rug Lorna - Wendy you are so talented what a great mug rug. I am off to show and tell to look at the other mug rugs Lorna posted.

[Susan B.]

Lucky Lorna! Doesn't Wendy have an awesome sense of color?

[wendy w.]

Just the right scraps Sue.

Fun present Lorna I may copy your idea. By coffee sticks I assume you mean the sachets not something like a cinnamon stick

[Lorna B.]

Yes! Sachet...I couldn't think of the right word. Thank you

Hello from Eastern Washington amid unpacked boxes!

I received a lovely mug rug at my new address from Rita! It was so exciting to open the new mailbox and find it! Much better than the other mail. :roll:

Here is a picture of it. It is wool appliqued on a perfectly quilted background. See the binding treatment? Cool! Rita says it is "two lovebirds for you two love birds." Thanks Rita I love it.

[wendy w.]

[Rita C.]

Glad you like it Geneva. And a long and happy life to you two in your new home.

[Rita C.]

Very pretty Rita. I was just thinking yesterday that we need to get some new blood on this thread so we can have more activity on this thread.

Fun, Geneva! What a beautiful mug rug from Rita. The boxes will get unpacked eventually! California's loss is Washington's gain.
