OK, it's time to stop fiddlin' with the pattern and put some fabric together. Still don't know which pattern it will be. Thankfully they both use the same kind of fabrics. Aren't you lucky, Bunny? lolllll

Finished mine this weekend and will mail tomorrow!

Oh Paus, hope you don't go to too much trouble and get fancy. This will be my first, so hope you're not too disappointed.

lolllll This is my second and don't know if I've worked out the bugs yet. So not to worry. BTW I'm almost finished with yours. No pressure, you understand. lolllll

I think it should be a requirement that you all post a pic of your wonderful creations. Just kidding about it being a requirement. I am anxiously awaiting pics.

I so enjoy looking at the talent and creativity your all have. I also think it is interesting how each one interprets the subject. You are all artists.

It's in the mail!!

sent off to catwmn today...
this is not it!...another i made for my neice..

Well, mandy, I hope your happy. I've got one finished and three more in the works. I think I've found something I can do. lolllll

Quiltnanny: Sooooooo cute!!!! I will be finishing yours this w/e and will get in mail on Monday.

That is nice, quiltnanny. Like the pumpkin fabric.

Well this is quite some swap for me. When I first read the post I thought oh I have one done...easy peasy I'll do this swap. Then....I read the swap properly and discovered it was an autumn or halloween swap. Well colors aren't right so I need to make one. Then I read the post again and discoved it was to be mailed by the end of Sept. WOW!!! I'd best get my act together and getrdone!!! Today I worked and finished the rug all but the quilting. NOW...I read the correct post and find it doesn't have to be mailed before Nov. 3. You can tell where my mind is at these days!?*&@! Oh well, I am now way ahead of the game and will get it quilted next week. Sure hope it isn't late going out.!!!!lol

Cute fabric Quiltnanny!!!

Hi all! DH and I had a nice visit...although too short!!! He has gone on his last adventure before heading back to CA...poor man has missed me so much! **blush**...nice to know though.

So I am on to working on this mug rug...it has been quite rainy here so one part has been on hold until I can get outside for the parts...
Hint....
Quiltnanny cute fabric for MR for DD!
okay, back to work for me...

Miss Lensews2 mailed yours today. not sure how long it will take.

Otay, Ms Bunny. Autumn is on its' way!!!!

I am so excited about this swap and my first mug rug. I'm a little slow, so haven't quite finished yet, but almost.

I said this swap might get me motivated to sew again. Well, I think it did. Here are a couple extras I made.

The top one has the Flower of Friendship block. I've been dying to try that block and this seemed like a good place to use it.

The jack-o-lantern is mandy's inspiration. She pointed me towards Pinterest and I loved what she showed me.

CUTE Paus!!! You GO girl!

...Paus those are both so pretty ... good job.

I got a susprize in the mail today!
My mug rug! Ladies you should see! It is beautiful!!!
I'll post a picture later.
SueB thank you so much I just LOVE IT!!

Oh my, I received my mug rug in the mail today. It is soooo cute.... love it. thanks catwmn27

paus thanks so much for the mugrug. what a great stitching design.

soooo cute...this is what I received from catwmn27

luvthosequilts please don't post the picture till sewlove2quilt has posted that she has got hers. thank you.
I'm so glad you liked it a lot,

Quilt nanny. So glad you like yours. Had so much fun doing it.

.... See that pair of mugrugs pictured above made by Paus? Well guess who got that one with the friendship flower in it ... Yes... ME .. and I stood here and cried .. today has been kind of a hard day - thinking of my daughter and missing her so much . and along comes this beautiful gift from a beautiful person .. totally made my day.
Thank You Pauline.
**************** I got a pic with my mug from my friends in Leavenworth Ks, I stayed 3 days with them after Branson,hadn't seen them in 25 years (we were stationed there 2x together and 1x at Ft lewis) they thought I needed a souvenier ..
....PS it's prettier than you can see because she did a FMQ flower and the backing and binding have lots of glittery gold.

I love the spider!!!!! How lucky you are, Quiltnanny. That is sooooo cute, catwmn2.

SueB, your sneak peak looks fabulous!!!!

Since Mandy and Sandie....oh, I think they rhyme.... received theirs today, I wonder if Bunny got hers also.

Mandy, I thought you deserved that mug rug since you pointed me in that direction. lolllll Loved the idea!!!

Sandie, glad I helped to make your day. Thank you, Friend.

This was fun.

thanks for the compliments. I have been having fun with these mug rugs. I too have not been sewing for a while and need a push to get going again.

Mandy, thanks for hostessing these swaps. You have given me motivation. LOL

Those are soooo cute!!!! I'm afraid I may not have got the right idea when I did mine. I did send it off today so I hope you like it when you get it City Sandy. While I was at the post box I also picked up my mugrug....LOVE IT!!! It is soooo cute with Autumn Blessings. Not sure if I can get a picture small enough to post or not. My son usually does that job for me. I'll try tomorrow to do that. Oh do you have a picture you can post Sandy?? In the mean time Thank you Sandy...it is adorable.

...ok Sewnso ... I know you have to travel to get your mail - I'm glad you like it ... and I'll be watching for mine ... I want you to know tht as far as I'm concerned = it can't be wrong I just have the best time doing these.
Did you join the next one?
This is the front, it is FMQd arond all the pumpkins and branches...

....and this is teh back - it too is FMQd ... Ilove playing with this technique .. and signed it with the same golden thread .. after going around the flowers ..

They are all so pretty. Love the ric rac on the spiders

Catwmn, are your spiders fused or embroidered? I love that mug rug. Sometimes we just need a little thing to nudge us along. I had fun and enjoyed doing mine and I do think they helped me.

Sandie: Your rug is soooo appropriate. Very nice.

How lucky you are, Sewnso. I'm sure yours will be just as loved.

Hi Paus: They are 3 circles of felt that I just zig zagged into place. I then drew legs and zig zagged them as well. It was a lot of fun. Even made one for myself.

Well, I can see why you made one for yourself. Those are so cute and sooooo appropriate!!!!
