a Mug 'Hug' is a quilted 'jacket' for your mug. You can either use Velcro or a button (or anything you want) to secure it around your mug. You just have a Tab that goes through the handle.

mug rugs are just a new name for coaster really. some are square, some hexagon, etc. And some rectangle to hold a cup and perhaps a cookie. your choice! some have binding, some are turned.

That would drive me absolutely crazy, making a pretty thing like that and having a buttery cookie on it or drips from the cup or a teabag. I have the same reaction to a quilt used as a tablecloth in a magazine. Just want to yell "noooo!"and run up and rescue it. But that's just me.

hugs,

Michele at Quilting Gallery.com is doing registration right now for her current swap. She'll send out partner info around the 26th. It's an Olympic theme and the $6 fee includes the patterns for the 2 mug rugs. This is my 3rd swap with her and I've met some very nice people! You can find her on FB under Quilting Gallery.
