CMQG Mug Rug Swap and Social

Posted by AnneMarie on November 29, 2010 at 3:54 PM

CMQG will start it's first swap at the December meeting - and we'll kick it off with a social Holiday party to get to know our partners and each other. 

 

 

A MUG RUG SWAP

 

So what is a mug rug, you ask??  It's a small quilt, roughly around 8" x 10" in size, that can be used for a cup of coffee or tea and a cookie.  It is larger than a coaster and smaller than a placemat......and it's all the rage on quilty blogs right now.  They whip up super quick, and honestly, are very addicting to make!

If you would like to participate:

1.  Bring a ziploc baggie full of scraps (scraps must be at least 2" x 2" in size) to the December meeting.

2.  All baggies will be put into a hat.  Everyone will draw one baggie out.  You will make a mug rug for the person who's baggie you draw using their scraps.  The person who draws your baggie will make one for you.

3.  You may add one complementary fabric to the scrap baggie you draw to help round out the fabric needs for backing and binding.

4.  Bring back your finished Mug Rug for your partner at the January meeting!

At the December meeting, we will spend some time getting to know who we are partnered up with (likes, dislikes, etc.) to help you make the mug rug. 

 I sent around a sign up sheet at the November meeting to bring drinks/snacks for the social.  Please remember to bring something to munch on for the social!  It's ok if it's not exactly what you signed up for, as long as we have things to share, we'll be good!

I really wanted to participate in this swap, but I am going to Texas on Dec. 16th :(
Can't wait to see what everyone makes!

For some reason, I am having the hardest problem picking out which scraps I want in my bag. I can't stop laughing at myself. This should be the easiest of all things.
