You can also go to the top of any page on the quilting board, click Search and type in your topic and you will find all of the posts that have been made on that subject. :-D

During the holidays I was experimenting with an easy potholder. After I put it together I set my DH's rather large container that he used for pop or water. It became his mug rug. His cup (probably holds about a quart) takes up almost the entire rug and keeps his side table from getting all messy with condensation.

Hope the partly written answer didn't go through. Here's what a mug rug is: It is usually a rectangle (although I've seen a big square) 6"x9" or at the biggest 7"x10" (which is the size I like). It is a small placemat to put a small plate (filled with cookies?) and a mug or a soupbowl. It's addictive to make because it can be made somewhat quickly. I have a lot of ideas for designs. Use orphan blocks that are hanging around or scraps. I also like the idea of a whole bunch of these for your wall art. Great for presents. Go creative. Here are a couple of blogs to look at:
