Christmas Mug Rug Swap

Now as my friend Jean said, "Let the mug rugs begin." I am so excited to be getting started on our mug rug exchange. I've wanted to do a swap for a long time, so here we go...
I do want to say first please, please do not be intimidated by the picture samples I've featured. These are done by more experienced sewers than myself! Believe me my mug rug will have to be much simpler than those in the photo. However, by all means, if you are a wonderful quilter and have the ability to 'knock our socks off' with your talent feel free to do so!

Here's how this will work:

1) You have until  this Sat. November 7th to notify me to let me know if you would like to participate in my Christmas Mug Rug exchange.

2) On Mon. November 9th I will notify you Christmas Mug Ruggers who your swap partner will be.

3) I ask that you finish and mail out your mug rug on November 20th.This will give you almost two weeks to sew your creation and also allow the mug rugs that are being shipped internationally to arrive early in December.

4) Lastly, I do hope that each participate will share their mug rug on their blog or Google plus.

I leave it to each of you to chose the size of your mug rug. Keep in mind that it is for a mug (teacup) and a snack, so not as large as a place mat! Also, make it in any shape your heart desires. The sky is your limit.

If you have any questions, as I very well may have left something out, leave a comment and I will e-mail you back.

Now as Jean said, "Let the mug rugs begin!"

Have fun with it!
