Mandylifeboats - have sent you a PM.

How nice of you to join us, Shishie. You'll have fun.

Got my pattern done last night, just waiting for the go ahead.

hi shishie.. welcome... you will love it here.
Mandy I would like to be in this group...put my name on the list. thanks...

Thank you so much everyone for the warm welcome. I drew my pattern last night. I couldn't sleep(hot flashes! LOL) It is very warm here for this time of year. Our high may reach 80. Ready to bring out the fan again.

Ok thank you Mandy for taking the time to switch me. I'll domy best.

Found a good idea so I am in.

I'd like to be included again. Now I just have to come up with an idea.

Time for me to jump back in as I am in need of a new one - great theme!

I didn't know what a mug rug was until recently...then I got a small giftie one at the retreat in Branson and use it all the time. City/Sandie thinks I should jump right in .. after looking at the very cute ones from the current swap I figure...why not!?!?! sooo... count me in please, I'll send a PM ... and hope what I come up with makes someone happy!

waiting on nlk's mailing address. sent private message.

Grrrr, I've already done two proofs and am not happy with either one.

YIKES! I didn't know I signed up for this mug rug swap but I'm happy to be a part of it. I love the theme but can't come up with a good idea as of yet but my brain is working on it (as you can see from this post it's early in the a.m. & I'm still pondering on what to make).

sign-ups closed. addresses will go out by day's end.

Spent two hours last night listening to the "Voice" and going through some of my magazines looking for inspiration. Guess what, Nik! I found it! Picked out fabrics from my stash this morning and will get started today. May take me a while as I intend to do some hand work on it but I'm finally inspired to do some sewing.

Thanks, Mandy for hosting this swap.
Joan

Oh Joan, I have no idea what I'm going to do for you yet. I may have to get with DD for some ideas as she's the creative one in the family.

I love mug rugs!

Sewlove2quilt, looking forward to swapping with you. Hope you like what I have done. Happy Quilting.

shishie, did u figure out the private messages so u can get your swap address? if not, i can send it to you on cafemom.

I got it thank you! I am ready to send it out< LOL

What! shishie1 you are telling us that you already have yours made & ready to mail out????? I don't even have an idea what to do yet.

.... methinks there is an OVER ACHIEVER in the swap ... good girl, keeps us all on our toes ... speaking for myself anyway
( I was gonna say Sheesh .. but that sounded too much like I was name calling or s mething! LOL)

I don't sleep much! I sew and quilt when my family sleeps!

Mine is done and packaged for mailing tomorrow. This was an easy challenge for me. My home travels where my heart/family goes.

Kin I do another Autumn one for Quiltnanny? It was easy to come up with those ideas. Working on idea #4. I'll get there; I hope, I hope.

Sewlove2quilt, I am not in a rush. I sign up for these things to keep my mind occupied. I have trouble sleeping so I sew then. Take your time. no hurry.

.... nothing to say - Imagine That!
Just pushing us back to page 1.

Nik, I finished yours today and will mail tomorrow. Don't worry about rushing on mine. I will probably have to go home to the UK soon and I wanted all my commitments done so I won't be late or rushed. Just one less thing for me to worry about. It was fun and I hope you like it.
