I am hosting a new mugrug swap. what is a mugrug? a mugrug is bigger than a coaster, much smaller than a placemat, big enough for a cup and a treat. here is a link to get u started. lots of tutorials if u scroll on down. mine usually measure 6 x 9", give or take

here are the details:

Theme: Design a mugrug around your partner's first name's initial - the initial would be the swappers real first name or maybe you would like to do a monogram-type thing. you can do a decorative letter "M". you could cut out an M from Marigold or Muffin fabric. you have to put your thinking cap on for this swap.

I want to do this one also. I've loved the others I've gotten and after seeing mine, I have friends requesting them.
Evelyn

me too me too

Now that should be interesting. I'll bite.

What a great idea....I wonder what theme you would come up with for January. I think I'll just do a couple of those as Christmas gifts and then we shall see.

I would like to sign up. I have one I got in a previous swap I use every day at work. I love it.

Don't sign me up yet but I have a question. So are you saying if our swap partner's name begins with a "D" we would design a mug rug with something that begins with "D"...like a dog theme mug rug? Am I understanding that right? Is it sort of like an alphabet quilt? Also, is the initial the board name or her real name?

I'm jumping in on this one.

Sign me up!

Don't sign me up yet, I have to think about this one a little. I will be out of town the first of Jan. I first thought you meant the first initial of my DH, which is W. I was thinking whale, wagon, worm, wheel. But now I see, you have to have partners assigned before you get an initial (giggle).

I'm in

Ok, I think I will give this one a try too. had fun with the last one.

Well I guess I am up for this one.These mug rugs are sure addictive.

Edna, received your lovely mug rug today. It is so sweet. Thank you. I will try to show a picture. I have been playing with resize but don't know if I've shrunk it enough. Here goes...

I received my mug today and I think it is very creative everything that starts with E. Ireally like the work put in it.

second side

Wow, that got there fast! Glad you like it. That first side you showed is really meant to be the back - all the scraps I had with things starting in E. Wish I had chosen a different color thread for embroidering your name. Doesn't show up so well in the photo. Anyway, thanks again for mine. I love the colors you used, My carpet and throw pillows in the livingroom are burgundy, so it fits in great. Thanks!

very creative!
