[gynconnie]

BJ your quilts turned out smashing. I hope they win something

Thanks Wendy. I hope they win something too.

Spectacular quilts, BJ! Thanks so much for sharing! Good luck with the show!

OK ladies, I have been keeping track of these lovely mug rugs and we have had 73 mug rug sent and received.

Lisa, you received a beautiful sunflower mug rug but we don't know who made it. I know you were having surgery but when you are back--could you let us know

That would be me! It was way fun doing dimensional petals!

[gynconnie]

Are you kidding--we are happy to show off.

Yeah, we're definitely a bunch of exhibitionists!

[gynconnie]

Ladies, I am EXHAUSTED! I have been "off the grid" so to speak, for the last 2-3 weeks, and I have just spent the last 2 hours trying to catch up with this thread alone. 20+ pages of posts!!! And such wonderful mug rugs! And I am so excited at the prospect of having our own show and tell gallery!

Still have a couple more MRs to complete in my first round, but I am so pumped up after seeing our collective output that I'm raring to go!

And via the mail today, the state bird of North Carolina flew into my sewing room and landed on the state flower...just gorgeous! Beautiful embroidery and FMQ by Susan!

[gynconnie]

Renata and Ritzy - I haven't; finished my first list yet, but would you like to be on my second list? Anyone else?

Yes please.

[gynconnie]

Yes Rita, I would love one from Ireland.

[gynconnie]

Connie, the MR to Lisa is wonderful--I love the dimension! Guess I should have read all the posts before I started posting. ops:

[gynconnie]

Forgive me if this posts twice, but I was interrupted during the writing of it.

So far, may second list is "Ritzy, Rita, and Renata (she still has to confirm) Anyone else there? Seems like an "R" list, but that would include "Really-want-to-be-on-the-list"

[gynconnie]

BJ - are you booked? I would be an honour...DJane?

[twiglet]

That's a beautiful bird, we seem a bit obsessed on them at the moment. Well done Susan did you paint the bird?

Ritzy yes please, I've got another couple to make first then will be starting a new list if anyone wants to swap with me

[Lorchen]

Please, Wendy! You could tie a MR to the back of one of your chickens and shoo it in my direction. Might be quicker than Royal Mail.

[Reetzbobeetz]

Wendy could I please exchange with you?

So far I have got Terrie, Ritzy, Jane, Robyn and Wendy (if she will have me) on my second list. Anyone else? I think, on reflection that Lisa was to be on my second list so I will include her too. Was there anybody else who should have been on my second list? I forgot to keep a note of it, sorry.

Another mug rug arrived by the postman today. It is from Vicki. Thank you Vicki, it is beautiful, the dragonflies are really lovely and your fabric on the back is so colourful. Thanks you again.

Vicki, yours has been the only one from abroad that has been opened before I received it :? :? Maybe they just didn't understand what you put on the customs form - a fabric post card or they were just nosey :?: :?:

[scottishquilter]
