Lions Gate Quilters Guild
Secret Mug Rug Swap
What is a mug rug? Well, it is a wee little quilt approximately 10” x 6” for your mug of tea, coffee or hot cocoa…bigger than a coaster but smaller than a placemat.
At the March guild meeting we will be handing out brown paper bags to all those who wish to participate. Inside those bags will be a list of 3 to 5 simple questions for you to answer. We ask that before the start of the April meeting you return your brown paper bag with your questions answered and with 3 or 4 scraps (approx 4” x 4”) of your favourite fabrics. During break we will redistribute the brown paper bags.
You will have two months to make a mug rug for your Secret Swap Partner using some of the fabrics in the bag and with the questions in mind. We will exchange the finished mug rugs at the June meeting.
The finished mug rugs should:
- be made with 100% cotton;
- be quilted and bound securely (no zig zag edges); and
- have a label to your Secret Swap Partner from you.
When we hand out the brown paper bags at the March meeting we will also include printed rules for you to follow.
Can’t make a meeting but would like to participate? Don’t worry! For those of you who can’t make the March meeting but would like to participate just contact Andrea Cowie. I can send you the questions and rules and we can quickly put your answers and fabric into a bag at the April meeting.
For those of you who would like to participate but are worried that you won’t be able to make the June meeting. Don’t worry we can make some arrangements for you too.
