I think I'm going to jump in with both feet!
a quilt is too much to take on right now but I've been waiting for something smallish to come along. Count me in!

Sign me up too. I like these small projects.

Linda

Thank you for the link. Lots of inspiration there. A good use of your colorful scraps. I think I'm going to have some fun with this swap. Come on ladies, jump in, the water's fine!

Yeay! Anyone else? Come on let's get this party started!

sign me up to please mandy

Ok, I will play too. These are so fun to make!

I wanna play too!!!! I love rainbows!

mine usually measure 6 x 9 inches, or smaller. whatever it comes out to be. any larger than that makes it a placemat.

I'M interested in doing a mugrug what are the rules and regulations . I will pm you my info
Edna

emb115724, take a look here for some inspiration:

http://www.twomoreseconds.com/p/mug-rug-madness.html

you will make one. the theme is "rainbow". you can make a rainbow or use the colors of a rainbow in your design. i will pair u with a partner. you will send your mugrug directly to her address. she will send your mugrug directly to your address. you will mail by april 30. my mugrugs usually measure 6" x 9". u can make em smaller or a little bigger. not too big tho. it is not a placemat.

any other questions, just give a holler.

I have been playing with brights for a string quilt for a raffle... so I am hoping to use the scraps for this one... now to find what I want to do!

Reminder: Rainbow MugRug Swap sign-ups close Friday.

Count me in! My spring one will be in the mail tomorrow so......I'll get going on a rainbow.

I was just refreshing my memory on the colors and color order in the rainbow.

ROY G. BIV it says.

School was a long time ago!

The last one I received was so beautiful that I want to do it again. Sooooo sign me up, Mandy. Im bringing Roy G. Biv with me!

was on the fence since next month is a busy one but count me in since I can always use some creative sewing time

sign-ups are now closed. addresses to go out soon.

Ohhh! I cant wait to see who my partner will be!!!!!

wow, all these over acheivers...lol...congratulations on an early finish, my spring mugrug was mailed on Monday, and I have just decided on a pattern (errr idea in my head) and pulled my fabrics for this rainbow one, so let's hope I can get my vision and my fabric to play nicely...lol

I haven't even started! I have been hurting really bad so I haven't touched my machine in about 2 weeks! SO SORRY!

Then I get my machine back (took it for a fixin') after having minor tension issues--- and it has major tension issues now! And I still hurt.... I am going to pretend this isn't looming over me until I can handle it! I still have 15 days!

Hope you are feeling better soon - and your machine gets over her tension headache!

jobows, take your time. i am in no rush. there is no due date.

I woke up yesterday with NO pain! It has been months for a day like that! So... I mowed the lawn and fixed some things around the house..... and (while waiting for "the call" for my machine to be ready) I sorted my RAINBOW fabrics!!


ETA: These are my 'bitty' scraps! The others are still awaiting some kind of organization~ while sitting in a box!

oooh, how pretty.

posted a new mugrug swap today. theme: cupcakes

gorgeous, hoping to mail my mugrug friday or monday at the latest..fridays are always a big day for me, but i just love it...i gotta make myself one...lol

I am on a mission today! I WILL pick up my machine as soon as they open!!!!! and then I WILL get my mugrug done! I have so many ideas.... how to narrow it down!

Do we post pics? I would LOVE to see what you hard working quilters made!

jobows, yours in the mail, hope u like it!

Thanks Sewlove! I like it applik!

Here is my dilema: I made my mugrug.... finished it and there are a few flaws I am not proud of... I like it, my machine wasn't cooperating! (it is ALWAYS the machine's fault!) I was contemplating making another one tomorrow...

would you send it or make another? Or is it just me being way too self conscience? Sorry to be sew complicated! I don't want people to *not* want me as a partner! I have never made a mug rug and was trying to decide how 'perfect' you guys are!

Maybe I shouldn't have posted, just made another and nobody would ever know! LOL.... I really did enjoy this "mini" project! I won't say it was quick-- mine had 96 pieces but it was fun!
