Thank you all for the compliments. I have made tons of mug rugs for gifts, but never swapped. I am going to try and post pics of a couple more. Kiffie....I pray your mom stays in remission! We lost my sweet MIL in 1984 and she is the person that really taught me how to sew. I miss her terribly! So yes, still having her is a gift!! Do you have an embroidery machine? That rug was made entirely "in-the-hoop". I have another design that is even prettier, but cannot seem to find a pic of it.
