Great ideas, Deb! I will put them on my List of Themes. Anybody else?

Deb -- that's thinking ahead!

Wow! Two more adorable mug rugs!!!

Cuppy - I got yours in the mail this morning - yea :D . . . of course the Post Office said it should arrive by Friday (this week & year - ha, ha, ha). The tracking number has been PM to you, too so we can see what route it takes :thumbup:

I"m just not use to having my commitments completed and sent off so early. Now I have all this time on my hands. I actually am going to attempt a fabric portrait from of photo of dh and I last year at Lake Erie. I'm in hopes of being successful enough at it to make some gifts for our daughters. As far as the ice skate wall hanging goes, it's applique and that's like dipping a paintbrush in water then the paint box for me-easy and quick.

Looking forward to other mug rugs coming in. It's always so fun to see what others do. :)

Best,

Love the flowers on your mug rug, Dot... so pretty!

Possible themes:
Sewing! Or the partner's favorite hobby other than sewing....
Partner's favorite-- coffee, tea or hot chocolate
Partner's pet or favorite animal
Birds
Color themes (maybe abstract, just all color)

I'll keep my thinking cap on!

Dotty, cute mug rug and I love the napkin idea. Makes a neat set.

Thanks, sewbizgirl -- great ideas! I'm keeping notes for future swaps. :)

I received two beautiful mug rugs and that remind me of beautiful sunny days! Thank you so much, Dotty (dotcomdtcm)!! My girls and I have been enjoying having tea with the mug rugs and napkins. The cute hand towel is just begging me to embroider it. :-D https://www.flickr.com/gp/134381455@N03/3m3a96
