Mug Rug Swap

I could not help myself, when I saw this swap I was so excited. The Quilting Gallery listed a Mug Rug Swap and since I always like quick easy quilting projects, I just had to sign up. I have made a test Mug Rug that is being used on my desk at school. I am a school nurse so I enjoy FUN stuff.

This is a huge swap. There are 330 swappers from 25 countries. Wow! What a great way to make new friends. I've already shipped my Mug Rugs out and have received mine.

I sent This one

and this one

As you can see, a Mug Rug is a very small quilted mat 10 inches by 6 inches. You can sit your favorite mug and snack on it. I love, love, love these. You make two to send to your partner and you will get two from another partner. I have made 20-25 different mats to share with others. I can see so many cute ideas to use these on. I love Amy Butler and other trendy fabrics and never throw away the small fabric pieces. I plan to make special Mug Rugs with these leftover fabrics.

My sender is from Minnesota and sent these to me. The loon is the Minnesota state bird and the Lady Slipper is the state flower, the backing has sayings or locations all pertaining to the state of Minnesota. How nice to share information with our partner. These are pretty enough to hang on the wall.
