As
discussedduring the April meeting, we are having our very first swap!
If you want to participate, make and bring a mug rug to the May 4th meeting wrapped in a brown paper bag, and you will take home a mug rug created and made by a fellow OMQG member! Easy and fun!

Tweethearts_2What is a mug rug you ask? Basically it is an oversize coaster.....a cute spot to set your beverage of choice and a snack. As you can see from the above pictures, mug rugs are not just for coffee ;-) The mug rug I brought in as
a samplewas about 6" by 10", but they can range in size anywhere from 4"x6" to 6"x10". You can make your mug rug square, rectangular, round, heart shaped, egg shaped, etc.; you can sew a binding on it or use the pillowcase method; you can machine quilt or hand stitch it. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy the creative process!The mosaic above is just a sampling of some of the great mug rugs showing up on Flickr. While browsing for mug rug pictures to share, I noticed a blog that hosted a week of
Mug Rug Madness. This would be a good place to visit for tutorials, questions about mug rugs, or if you want more inspiration.I can't wait to see what our members create!!!!
