Working on my mug rug !!!

I'm pretty much done. Just reviewing what I have now. :) Hoping to mail next week.

It's usually so hot here in September that I can't even think fall much less anything Halloween. But after a horrible heatwave we are having surprisingly cool weather, so I'm starting to feel the Autumn. I got out all my fall fabrics and am ready to go. Just have to get off the computer.

Found all my fabric for mug rug and will get on it tomorrow. :)

Got the mug rug and mini quilt done. Know on to finish my postcard. Found what I needed to make the mug rug, mini quilt and postcard in my stash. I think the quilt fairy has been in my stash again.She seems to be put things in my stash but is things I forgot I had.

Started on my partners Mug Rug today. Should have it done tomorrow and in the mail Tuesday.

I have to hand bind my mug rug and it will be finished. Made a new one after reading ctynakee preferences. Have all the extras ready to go

Missed you too I haven't been on in a long time hope you are well

So I'm working on my mr, doing machine appliqué for the first time and I get a little dimple. Very carefully, I remove stitches and try again. Nothing's moving. Clean out the bobbin area. Try again, thread bunches up. Going to the movies.

Sounds like a great plan to me! It will probably be easy to finish up after a short break!

That's the best thing to do -- walk away from the sewing machine ... very slowly.

Haven't started yours yet, Reggie. I was out of town over the weekend and just got home. Tomorrow is a sewing day! Yaaaaaay!

was hoping to sew this weekend but the sewing i did get done wasnt on the mug rug. son's GF brought me some mending to do for her and a quilt one of her clients had rec'd after Katrina that she needed to have mended. there are 12 green squares in the quilt made of a material that frays easily and most of them have frayed so seams are coming apart with no seam allowance to work with on the green squares. only one solution---raid my stash for another material in green to replace those 12 squares. bit more work but only way to really save quilt.

Saving an old quilt is really a pain, but quite a gift.
Lynnie tells me that fall fabric is 70% off at Joann's...
We aredoing Mystery #11. Check it out!!

Saving a quilt is quite a challenge! Effort merits b4 and after pics for sure Hope you can share. ;)

My house is so quiet this morning I could hear a pin drop. Son's and families left yesterday to journey home. Miss them already! Will get the mug rugs ready and put them in the mail today.

Hi all,
I'd like to share with you my wonderful package that arrived today from dotcomdtcm. I had no idea she posted the package so you can imagine my surprise when I collected the mail today and saw a squishy sticking out of the box. Eeeee...

Dotty choose gorgeous fabrics to represent fall for the pieces she made. Yes, she made her signature pair of mug rugs and coordinating napkins. So very timely too Dotty since I just put up the fall decorations on Saturday. She also included a scrap quilting magazine.

Isn't everything just yummy? I think so.

Again, Dotty, thank you so much for everything.

Happy quilting, all.


best,
deb in Maine

What pretty fall mug rugs by Dottie.

Whigrose -- those are beautiful mug rugs! And a scrap magazine to drool over -- yay!

Beautiful mug rugs! So excited to already see some. :)

sewed on that quilt today--took out the 12 green blocks that were raveling too much to save. the batting exposed was so torn and hanging in shreds so i removed the yarn ties and the removed the old batting as well. New batting in, blocks replaced--retstitched the other seams---retie knotted quilt. just have to sew outer edge and it will be finished. hopefully i can finish it tomorrow after church quilt group and then get started on the mug rug.

A few more stitches on the binding and getting a few treats and it should be in the mail be next week.

I finished my partner regm's mug rug tonight. It will be in the mail to her tomorrow. Had so much fun making it!

My mug rug is finished and will be mailed tomorrow to England!

Remember, ladies, to PM me the tracking number on your package. Thanks.

And enjoy making those mug rugs! I can't wait to see them!

Haven't been home much this summer, therefore, I wasn't joining any of the swaps on The Board. I have always enjoyed being a part of this swap and hopefully I will be able to get back into the swap starting next month. I can't believe how many people are signed up for Sept. and I am really looking forward to seeing all the unique creations.

Dotty does beautiful work.

I came home to find this wonderful swap in my mailbox. It was from Jaba and what awesome colors and I even got 2 of them and some fruit snacks and a nice note. Thank you so much. I'm still working on mine. You girls are fast.

Take a bow Jaba. Those are beautiful pieces!
