June 2018 Mug Rug Swap- Your Partners Favorite Color
June 2018 Mug Rug Swap — Your partner's favorite color!
Welcome to the June 2018 Mug Rug Swap! This month’s theme is: Your Partner’s Favorite Color! Signup begins; 20 May 2018 Signup closes: 31 May 2018 at midnight Mail by dates: International 10 June 2018/ all others 20 June 2018 these dates are firm. What is a mug rug? A mug rug is an item you use to place a cup of coffee, tea or soda on, along with a small snack plate/napkin beside it. It’s approximately 9”x8” or larger so both items will fit. Please do not make it smaller than 9”x8” as that is quite small for both items as it is! 1. You will be assigned a partner. This is not a secret pal swap. Each partner will contact the other partner for addresses. You are encouraged to talk to each other and find out little things about her so you can make a special gift just for her. And your partner will tell you what color she wants! How can you turn that theme into a special mug rug? This is where you get to be creative. Once you discover your partner’s chosen color, raid your stash (or go shopping!) & get really creative! Will you make something abstract, realistic or whimsical? Will you appliqué or paper-piece or just go with regular piecing? What you do with your partner’s chosen color is totally up to you! 2. It must be made with 100% quilter’s cotton, with a nice cotton batting in between to protect furniture from possible damage due to heat/cold. Use a binding method you are comfortable with, or practice & learn a new binding technique! Also, the mug rug must be quilted. Remember, this is a gift you are making for someone. Be proud of your work & do your best. And be kind about what you receive. If you have any issues, please work it out with your partner first, before contacting me; communication is key. This board is for all of us to make friends & have fun. 3. You must send your name, address and phone number to me, Armylady2012, by May 31st. Deadline to send out swaps is June 20th & International is 10 June 2018 don’t forget to send me notice (with tracking number) that you have sent to your partner. Any delays must be shared with me prior to this date. I want everyone to receive a partner’s trade. We should not have to request angels. Again, communication is important. You can be forgiven if something comes up & you notify your partner & me prior to the end of your swap mail date requirement. But if you don’t communicate & don’t send out a mug rug to your partner, you will be locked out of swapping with this group and negative feedback will insure other swap groups know you didn't send. 4. You are free to include little gifts with your mug rug, handmade or store-bought; it’s up to you. But you are only obligated to send a mug rug. Nothing else is required in this swap. 5. Any questions? Contact me immediately and I will help get you started. 6. Please take a photo before you ship your package to your partner, just in case she cannot post a photo. We all want to see photos! But don’t post it until you know your partner has received your package & that she is unable to post a photo. 7. Also, please let me know if you can mail internationally! This is important, as we have quite a few international swappers who want to join us, & I don’t want anybody to be left out. So if you can ship internationally — even just one time — that would make it more fun for our overseas & Canadian swappers! Have fun! Sign up today! Send me a PM with your name, address & phone number for emergency use only. Remember to let your partner know what color you want, especially if you have a couple of favorite colors … just pick one! Names will be given out on June 1st,. You are required by the board to send things you sign up for, or risk not having the ability to swap again in other swaps. Again, per board rules, anything about your partner or the item they swap to you that does not please you is not to be posted on the board but sent in a PM to me or to your partner to sort out. It’s polite and it’s the right thing to do. |

I got my Mug rug already. Absolutely beautiful. Will have to pm her to see what the little pins are for. Loved the spoon. Hopefully she took pictures.

I mailed out my mug rug and a few extras to my swap partner. Little nervous-this is the first mug rug for me!

Frsur33 beautiful Mug Rug you made dharen7 and love the spoon, is this something you do besides quilting? I think it is a wonderful Ideal and love the fact that you incorporated roses into the Mug rug and the spoon.
dharen7 what a lucky lady you are. |
Ladies just wanted to let you all know that I will be out of town all week (18-22 June) back on Saturday 23rd, if I can get to a computer I will check in with you as often as I can. Just keep up the great work of getting your Mug Rugs made and mailed out by the 20th. |
Frsur33, Thanks for posting pictures for me. Haven't figured out how to do that yet. Yours is in the mail. As soon as I can find my receipt I will post it for you. I think he said you will have it on Wednesday. Forgot to take a picture of it, so I could save it on my phone. Thanks for being partners.
|
I arrived back home to a lovely package. Gaijin so honored to have your first mug rug, it is beautiful. My favorite colors of purples, blues. Thank you for being my partner. Yours will be mailed sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.

Maxie, I received Terri’s mug rug on Monday. Beautiful shade of yellow and new piece of fabric for my collection. Love it.
I am trying to post a picture. |
I hand stamp the spoon to create impressions. The actual spoons are silver plate silverware which I collect from antique stores. I love spoons and the idea of putting a message on them!
