Thread: MUG RUG SWAP....Sign ups closed

After re-reading some of your post and measuring I find the 9X7 is a decent size to work with.

If you go and re-read the guide lines for this swap it stated:
. *SIZE: A minimum of approx. 9” x 7” in any fashion or shape.

As I said before…PLEASE do not stress over this. I am hoping for this swap to be challenging, fun & making new friends.

I love all the photos of the rugs so far..Too bad I cannot have them all

Either work well. BTW, these are practice FMQ squares I cut up to make mug rugs from, NOT what I will be doing on this swap.

Working on mine. I will probably make two - just to be sure she likes at least one of them. Almost done.

Very Nice Belfry!! In fact I may have a cup of coffee when I get home! With a snack of course!!

HA!! Maybe if my MR is sorta on the smaller size I won't be tempted to lay a snack next to my cup!! HA!! Maybe I'll need two of them, one for snacking and another for drinks only....!! Ha!
