Oh so cute! I love the little heart in the window.

I got my little mug rug today from Quiltinana2 & I absolutely LOVE it. I don't think there could have been a more perfect one for me. It's got the cutest little house on it with flowers in the front yard, grass in the back yard & sea gulls flying in the sky, soaking up the sunshine. She did all the quilting by hand with beautiful blanket stitch, chain stitches, "x's" around the sun & two precious flowers on each side of the door. I'm so glad I joined this swap and that Quitinana2 was my partner. Thank you Joan for such a beautiful mug rug!!

Here's a picture of it...

Thank you Nik. Glad you liked it. It was relaxing to do some hand work for a change.
Now I see the photo, I don't like the way the binding overlaps. Will have to do better next time!
Glad to be your partner. It was a great swap. Thanks again for your beautiful mugrug.
Joan

Sewlove2quilt, thank you for posting the mug rug I sent you and happy you liked it. Looking forward to getting the one you made for me. I love SUrprises.

Yes Sandy this is the one you sent. I too love the heart in the window.

I think everyone has really pulled out the theme of this mug rug swap.
Shishie1, I like the shape of your mug rug & & echoing around the heart really makes it stand out. VERY CUTE!

Sandie, your little mug rug that you sent to sewnso is precious. I love heart in the window & also love that tree! Great job!!!

Hope to get mine done this weekend and mailed next week

I have finalized my idea and am planniing on sewing this weekend. Just hope it works!!

Finished today for Paus, will mail Monday.....

Sewlove2quilt, I am sure it is on it;s way. I live in Chicago right by a distribution center which is slow. Some days they have fire up their butts, somedays not!

Argggghhhhh, Quiltnanny. I'm not ready yet. lolllll

...quiltnanny - don't believe PAUS .. she is ready - she is also INDECISIVE ... I'll call her and give her a push

HAHA, ready or not it will be in the mail on Monday....

EvelynB: I'm working away on your mugrug.
Couldn't make up my mind on color choices.
That is resolved now.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

That little mug rug from Nickilee is so cute. I love the little heart button. It's amazing how you can take one theme & get so many different ideas from it.

Sewlove2quilt, I received the mug rug from you yesterday, just went out to get the mail now. It is fabulous! If you took a picture of it, I would be thankful if you could post it. Otherwise, I will try to ask my daughter to help me scan and post it. Yhank you so much.

Mine arrived this weekend. Love it Ctwn27. I will mail mine tomorrow

I'm just blown away by everyone's different mug rugs. What a great swap! I'm loving them all!
Joan

They all are really very special aren't they!

I'm so sorry, Bunnybcb... I have been trying to get packed and shipped home...deal with sinus/bronchial something and going to a friend's house here...then needed her son to help me get online again... but am a bit unpacked ready to finish sewing and will mail soon...

No worries luvthosequilts, I was running behind too. Got yours in the mail, you should get it soon. It didn't turn out very good, and I apologize for that, just was rushing to finish after company left and now getting ready for more company coming in.

sewlove2quilt, I think your little mug rug is just precious. Your quilting looks like an echoed heart. What a great job!

Catwmn27, just about the time I think there can't be another unique mug rug...up came yours. This was a difficult swap for me (figuring out what to do) but everyone's rugs are so uniquely wonderful. Yours makes me smile.

..... just a thought - so many of the mugrugs are so spectacular I am feeling kind of like maybe I can't keep up with the direction they are going - little works of art that are too pretty to use!
I guess I'm just saying I may not send my swap partner something I sweated and worried over but continue with 'rugs' I hope are utilitarian.
** Is that ok? **
Ladies, I USE mine! I love having them next to me at the computer and machines ..and dragging them to my friendship groups - to be used. I appreciate every one of mine - thank you to all who have swapped with me.

Sandie,I have already started using my mug rug. I made mine for Quiltinana2 to use & I'm using the one she sent me. It's true that it took me a while to figure out what I was going to do but that's the case with anything of me that requires coming up with my own "design". I had a lot of fun making mine & learned a bit more about pp'ing.

...hahahaa yours is one of those I'd hate to mess up!! but I do use them ... I love all those I have received, and enjoyed making every one I have sent - I am in another swap also ... these are so fun and so useful - perhaps i was being a little oversensitive for those of us who hate to mess up pretty things !!! Bring on the next one! Thanks for your comment - I could feel you smiling while you were writing!

EvelynB: I mailed yours today.

Indecisive, am I? Well, I'll just show you Ms City/Sandie.

Quiltnanny, choose door #1, 2 or 3 and that is what you will get. lolllll

J Lu - yours is in the mail! I did a Christmas theme too (that's your only hint :-)

I need to show off the beauty that she sent me... I've had it for a while but finally took a pic. I love it so much, the fabric is just gorgeous and she hand quilted around the buildings and quilts. I'm also looking forward to trying the Texas Pecan flavored coffee J Lu sent this weekend! Thanks again!!

It's fun to look at them all in this thread. So much creativity - way to go everybody.

Oh my goodness all these rugs are beautiful. There are some happy people with cups of warm liquids enjoying the thoughts and care being sent their way by fellow quilters.Enjoy the Holidays. TFS with us. Pat

Aliquilt, did u receive my mugrug?

WOW!! These mugrugs are so unique!!! What a great swap!!!!

Asimplelife: WOW! I LOVE that fabric!!!

Asimplelife,AKA (Debbie) I received your rug tonight. I love it. It is all me. The fabrics really are my choice. It made me feel right at home. Tom and I were out on a date night looking at a festival of trees at our local fair grounds, we both thought I'd love a cup of coffee and a piece of pie when we get home. Your package was there waiting for me. Thanks for making my night. I'm going to use it right now. I'll have to get some pictures to you. Happy Holiday's to you all!

Love it

Ok I think my pie was alittle bit to big. LOL!!!

Oh J Lu, that's such a cute rug you got from Asimplelife. It homey & festive both at the same time. I think you have too much whip cream on that pie!

Paus have u received my mugrug for you? Please post....

should be requirement that receivers post they have received...

Applik: received my mugrug today. It is beautiful. I love it. will post a picture when I figure out how to. thanks so much

Nancy

Mandy, I may have received it, Have been sick over a week and my daughter/gkds stopped by Mon and Tues to check on me and brought my mail in. I vaguely remember them saying something about "squishy" (these are 6 and 8 yr old boys but I haven't found it, and of course they can't remember where they may have laid it down. DD is checking their house to see if they carried it home for some reason. I'm sure it will turn up and be fabulous! I finally got some sewing done today, first time in couple weeks.

J Lu, I'm so glad you like it! I hadn't paper pieced in several years and so enjoyed having a chance to relearn the process. Originally I planned to use the backing material fussy cut on the right side panel but decided that might be too busy.

What a great swap - I'm looking forward to the next one!
