Question on Mug Rug Swap
 
Sorry if this is a stupid question but, will we make mug rugs according to someone else's color or theme requests or do we create our own design for this swap? Is this a one time swap or will we be swapping over a period of time? If so, how long is the swap and how many mug rugs does it entail?

Sorry if there was a previous post that I missed.

Your choice of colors, and block design. Just one block mug rug this swap, after this swap we may have another one which you can sign up for at that time.

Okay, just sent mine. Was going to start the mug rug yesterday and got waylaid cleaning out and rearranging the room I use to keep all the rolls of batting in and finished quilts. Worth it, have more room now. Still need to vacuum is all. Now I need to see about selling my extra quilting table, it's a Little Gracie, and sure wish someone could use it.

Pat625 05-30-2013 06:40 AM

That's what I was thinking too Pat, too early, but need to keep our "leader" happy:thumbup: Remember those graduation weekends a long time ago. Just go with the flow, you're going to have a long weekend for sure. Congrats to your kids though, bet they're glad!!
