Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Lorchen]

Ritzy, want to exchange a Christmas mug rug? Gives you lots of time and a different theme.

Yes BJ--I will have time to think on this one

[Sewdreamy]

Oh goody!

Another beauty, lorchen!

Charae I would be delighted to swap with you. I am going to stop at 6 for now. Thanks everybody who has agreed to exchange with me. I really enjoyed making my last batch of mug rugs and I am looking forward to making these ones too.

I spent the last six days exhibiting at a trade show in sweltering, hot Las Vegas. I got home last night and in the mail, to my delight, was my first mug rug and goodies...from Lorchen!!! It is beautifully bright and sparkly and I LOVE it! One more proud member of the "Serial Quilters" mug rug club. Thank you so much, Lorchen. You made my day!

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

Hi Terrie. I would love to exchange a mug rug with you! Just so you know though, I have never attempted to make one before. Email me your mailing address if you are able to add me to your list.

This forum is so much fun!!

I am going to the Vermont Quilt Festival tomorrow! Imagine a minivan load of 7 ladies! I'll report on how long it takes us at the border, as we are supposed to be in the USA for 24 + hours in order to bring back stuff. We do report all purchases cause you can't bring a sewing machine to jail, and the cell might not be big enough to hold our stash! However, my friends tell me that they usually each bring about $100, and the customs officers wink at it, but any more and they charge GST(goods and services tax) and duty. Nice customs officers - I hope!

Have fun. And good luck at customs with your stash!

Love your feet, Terrie!

Me too Terrie. Those socks are awesome!

[Lorchen]

Charae, I'm glad that the little guy got to you and that you like him. I warned you that this one turned out 'bright'.

[Reetzbobeetz]

Still lovin' all the mug rugs! All originals, what fun.

Lorchen does it again! I just received this beautiful mug rug from her and just so exquisite down to every detail, you BadAss Quilter, YOU! :lol: :lol: :lol:

From a choice of colours I adore to delicate and subtle Asian fabric, the gradation of reds to pinks and a contrasting Navy blue (she even matched the thread color to the blocks in quilting!). The pièce de résistance of course is the beautiful cross-stitch pocket that picks up the colours of the mug rug! You really outdid yourself, my friend and I LOVE IT!!! :P





PS Even the delicious Cadbury hot chocolate mix packets match! 8)

Beautiful mug rug Renata. Lorchen your cross-stitching is fabulous. I have done quite a lot of it myself in the past and I know how long it takes to do. What a lot of thought and effort you have put into the mug rugs.

Renata,

You said it so well! I already thanked Lorchen for mine but I have to ditto your comments because you are right on.

[Renata]

Lorchen, I meant to say THANK YOU, too!!! I just got too excited! ops:

A beautiful package arrived today from the Royal Post. That's a first for me! Inside was a heart-warming package of goodies from Lorchen. Lorchen you brought a huge smile to my face yesterday, and again today as I took these pictures. Beautiful cross-stitch, beautiful fabric!!!! and Cadbury chocolate powder to warm the heart, soul and tummy.





I'm loving this exchange & all my Lizards.
