Oh, Boy!!!! Those are sure nice!!!!!

I will mail mine out on Monday. Mandylifeboats do you want to see a picture now or do you want to be surprised?

i will be surprised! i am still working on mine.

I received mine yesterday. Love it!! I will post a picture soon.
I have my idea planned and hope to get it started today

Elsie was ever so clever. She totally personalized mine with a monogram but also with fabric that highlights my life. The cutest pair of pigs on a motorcycle (DH & I retired early to play, play, play!) The San Antonio represents the city we like most to visit (DD lives there and DS's family spent 10 years there. DD, DS, and grandson got married there.) I live in Texas and love shopping all across this great state. My son, my grandson and his wife are career USAF. On the back is Texas Tech fabric. It's the alma mater for our family. Elsie, you're a genius! So clever to search out my past posts and make such a wonderful mugrug. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Whew! So glad you like it Evelyn. I've made a few mug rugs, but this was my first for a swap. Get lots of use out of it.

Completed mine today and it should go in the mail to Shieshie1 (Denise) tomorrow. I took a picture, but have yet to figure out how to resize/post a picture from my iPad. Could I please email it to one of the swappers, and you could perhaps post? Thank you -- just PM me your email if you can help me.

Thank you, NoraJ for offering to help me and post the pix. I really appreciate it!

Kari's awesome mugrug: Front.

Kari's awesome mugrug: Back.

gorgeous!

mandy/Susan...I finished yours this weekend & it will be in the mail this week sometime.

Karibbean Quilter I have yours finished ju need to make it to the PO. Hopefully this flu will leave my body soon, I saw the pictures of what you made for me. It is lovely.

Thank you Nora for posting! Hope you are feeling better, Denise. Hope you can tell from the pix that right side up it is "dm", with the front like a mosaic (for "m") and the back in a batik print of dolphins (for the "d") Just a little bit of the Caribbean to take the chill off your Chicago winter!

Mine is almost done. Just need to do one more thing then send it away.

motqltr received the mug rug love it. Still working on yours. I posted this on the board today. will finish your and get it in the mail by next week I hope.
{I need to get into the sewing room to finish the second row of the COF RR and the "Intial it" mugrug. but I'm just not up to it today. I had the flu for 3 weeks, all last week was feeling much better, got most of the housewook done. But today just no get up and go, I think it got up and went. hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.}

Wohoo! Glad you like it. I had a great time making it.

How lovely that is, so different.

Going to PO on Tuesday.:

motqltr I finished yours I will put it in the mail later today. I hope you like it.

Thank you Evelyn! I got my mugrug today, and I love it. The colors are so pretty, I'm calling it kind of a coral rose, with turquoise stitching. I don't know if the picture will allow you to read it clearly, but it says Lovely, Loving, Legendary, Ladylike, and Loyal, with the letters in my name (Linda) lining up vertically and stitched in green. I always enjoy your creativity Evelyn, and this is no exception.

Finished mine today and will mail this week. It is crazy and busy and crazy busy at work these days so won't be able to do the stars mug rug

very creative Evelyn, Linda you are very lucky!

Here is side one

and side two. Love both!

Beautiful mug rugs! You ladies have very nice embroidery programs and eye for color. It's always so interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

AngelaC, i have received your mugrug today! very creative, i love it. will post pic tomorrow!

Glad you got it. I was starting to worry!

my mugrugs will be coming at some point, having machine troubles. so sorry.

Haven't had a chance to sign in lately and see the pictures till today -- they are beautiful! We have some very talented and creative people in our midst.
I know the picture went up early, but Denise (shishie1) did you receive mine? It was sent priority more than a week ago.

great mugrug from AngelaC. sunbonnet sue

and Aliquilt sent me a cute mugrug, paperpiecing. don't u just love it?

i am going to attempt to finish the mugrugs on an old machine i have til i can get my pfaff fixed. say that three times fast.

NoraJ, I haven't forgotten you. I have to go back to square one. What I wanted to do just wasn't working out. I have the weekend off, so I will brainstorm for another idea in the meantime.

KaribbeanQuilter I received it yesterday, I just wasn't able to log on. I love it, love it, It is very beautiful. I have yours packaged and ready to go, just need to get better to go to the post office.

Beautiful work everyone; I am very confused and wrote a PM to the group. I finished the mugrug for Sue B, but due to work constraints I haven't been able to mail it, yet she says she rec'd one from me. Were we supposed to make one for everyone?
Also, Sue B, you said you mailed on the 19th and I haven't rec'd it yet. Altho the 19th should have been a US Mail holiday, so maybe that's no so far off.
If anyone can help w/ my confusion since this is my 1st mugrug swap.
Thank you

Sorry for the confusion I posted on the PM's. you should get today or tomorrow. My DD didn't reminded me the po was closed. so when I found it in her car I mailed it on the 23rd.

I need to apologize to Wiley and the folks on this thread. I have been having 'chine problems and am so far behind on getting this project done. It has to go back to the shop and find out what the problem is. Thought he'd fixed it once but nopers.

The stitch regulator is malfunctioning making super tiny stitches (as in on top of one another) and then the fabric gets jammed into the needle hole, etc.

Will you please take my IOU until he can get this cleared up. I am really sorry.

These mugrugs are just wonderful. I wanted to join in but with the QWL Challenge I didn't want to get behind and disappoint anyone. Maybe I can on the next one. But I am really enjoying the pictures. Maggie

No worries, PatriciaAnne! I am almost done with yours, I have all of the pieces completed, and just need to put it together and ship it off! I have the whole day to myself tomorrow to get a couple of projects finished up so that I can focus on baby quilts. :-)

~ Nora

All the mug rug shown are sooooo nice. Everyone had their thinking caps on, for sure. Beautiful works!!!!

paus4quilts, not a problem. An IOU is fine.
I didn't make it to the PO this week so Monday it is.

Motqltr just checking to see if you got your mugrug.

not yet; I was hoping it would be in Sat's mail, but like I said, it seems to take longer to get to the outlands.

Hey Deb (asimplelife) I have not forgotten you. a very busy month. HOpe to get things done and caught up in the next couple of days.

Made it to the PO this morning. Mugrug is on the way.:

Sue B, I received it; it's great. A barrel of monkeys was a game we played as kids at my uncle's.
Picture to follow

motqltr when I seen your initials BM all I could think of is Monkeys in a Barrel. yes that's the game that stuck in my head, and I could not get it out. LOL
Here is the picture.

Mailed mine out today
