Thanks all,

I think Brat mentioned earlier something in the range of 7 x 9". I have one I like that is 6.5 x 10 so I would guess somewhere in that range. Anyone else want to jump in with average measurements?

I think four inches is too small to make your mug rug by. you need it large enough to hold a mug and a small plate or napkin with cookies or goodies on it. I am thinking 6" should be the minimum size for length. just my strong opinion. want it to be used as more than a coaster. I am highly opinionated so forgive me for butting in.

I know I have errors. I thank you for the kind emails I awoke to. I had 10 emails and groaned but lucky for me only two had questions and 7 were happy emails. thank you so much. I am working on finding a new partner for a good swap person here in the US who couldn't mail out of states. so if there is someone who wants two partners please let me know she would love to play. next I guess I will be mailing north of the US and way down to Australia. They are both partners and I will gladly take them on. This is a group sport. I figure someone has to do it! just going to start almost immediately as I am slower than molasses. so much to do so little time! well off to dialysis to start my exciting day! yippee! any emails you send to me today will not get looked at til later this afternoon as I take a nap when I get home so be patient withme please. I will promise to respond to them when I get home. thanks! and post only nice things on the board til I get back!! lol

Hurray Difergie....Nice of you to admit you got Brat's name and are sending it in exchange to someone unbeknownst to her. That will certainly give her something to look forward to methinks.
I already have ideas percolating in my mind for my SP. I am thinking of two sided MR so it can be used either way up and not just backing on one side. Thinking of trying applique on one side as I need to practice my skills in that method. Can't mention more in case it would give it away. So excited to see what everyone comes up with.
This will be fun and I am all for the mailing by Dec. 1 but not opening until Dec. 15th. Happy creating, everyone.
