I can do 2, Pam. I'm back home in the almost empty nest. It is nice to have peace and quiet but sad that 2 of my 3 are so far away. Ok, Pam, not as far as Iceland! Quilt on.

Thanks, Lynnie. Arthur does seem a little lost without his buddy. I know there are a lot of pet owners on QB who have gone through this very same thing. We still look for our little guy ...

Quilter Momma -- if your partner doesn't mind about the wait, I'm okay with that. But you have to check with her first.

I think lots of people don't realize it's already the end of August. Took me by surprise, too. As a result, though, we do not have a long list of sign-ups. I don't believe I've ever seen a shorter list for the mug rug swap!

Here it is:

1. Robinlee
2. Jan Rutherford
3. vovoa
4. CookieZenmilk
5. Quilter Momma
6. nhnative
7. jazs2
8. lovethemgrays
9. jaba
10. dotcomdtcm
11. dotcomdtcm
12. ctyankee

Well, at least we're an even dozen! Dotty, if you don't feel like doing 2 because it's such a small group, let me know.

And if anyone else wants to sign up, please do so quickly! I will be posting partners tomorrow, but I will wait until I get home from work. I thought everyone would find this one a no-brainer & sign up, but apparently not. (sigh) It's okay if it's just the 11 of us, though -- we will still have fun! Right?

Oh, where are my manners! We have a newbie in our midst -- lovethemgrays. Welcome to the Mug Rug Swap! I know you will love it here because making mug rugs is soooo addictive!

Am I too late to sign up? I would like to be in this swap seeing I had to miss last month.

Can anyone mail international this month?

We have a little problem here. Nobody has volunteered to send international this month. We already have 12 people signed up; I can drop out to keep the numbers even; not a problem. But that still leaves the question -- who can send international??????

Help!!!

i will send international this month!

Yay! You have saved my life! And I know BettyJ will appreciate that, too!

Let me get that partner list ready. Whew! That was too close for comfort! Thank you, CookieZenmilk!

So here's the updated list of participants:

1. Robinlee
2. Jan Rutherford
3. vovoa
4. CookieZenmilk
5. Quilter Momma
6. nhnative
7. jazs2
8. lovethemgrays
9. jaba
