Since this is my first "Mug Rug" I have a question. Do you sign these things or not...
I made one set and after finishing thought they might be alittle to large 14x8 so I did another set which I think is abt right 9x7...But don't know if they should be labeled?

I signed up for 2.

They are adorable!

I did a search, saw some adorable pix.

Is there an "official" pattern/directions?

Main questions: Are they batted? Is there a liner to protect wood ?(guess THAT would have to not melt in the dryer) do they need to be labeled?

I didn't label the ones I sent out last time and the ones I received weren't labeled either...There is no "official" pattern or directions other than what's on the first page of this link and the ones I have made and received have batting.

I have been wanting to make one so I am in for 2. PM sent. I have never swapped before so I hope I do everything correctly. I am going for material this weekend!!!

Welcome all newbies the last one was my first mug rug and exchange on this site they were great and Brenda is a great hostess.

I was in a pincushion swap here and had a lot of fun with it! Looking forward to this one! I PM'd you.

I am in too! Woohooooo!

I'm in for 2 pm going out right now

K. I just re-read the rules. Am I correct that we go ahead & start our rugs, before we are assigned our partner(s)?

We don't get our trade partner's input on color/style they are hoping for?

...OCD mouseanne planned about 8 last night. hee!

Just finished putting the binding on my two "mug rugs"...a little hand sewing on the binding and they will be done awaiting partners for mailing. Since these are my first ever "mug rugs" I think they came out nice, hope my swap partners think the same...
