Description:
I love the idea of a special little 'quilt' mat for my cup of coffee, cocoa or tea. It beats a napkin or junk mail envelope to protect my desk and table from unsightly rings. So ... for this swap you will sew a little mug rug for you partner. I encourage you to consider color likes and dislikes when you choose your fabric. A few guidelines; at least 10 type 3 swaps completed on your profile use 100 % cotton fabric at least three different fabrics at least four separate squares, strips, etc sewn together using the three or more fabrics of your choice to cover all sizes of mugs and leave room for some goodies, let's have the finished measurement be at least 6" x 8". It will look just like a placemat but smaller I will check back once a day or more should anyone have questions. Thank you in advance for joining my swap!

I've always wanted to attempt to make one of these, is there a tutorial around?

I'd love to try this! :) I'd also love it if there is a tutorial...I'm better at hand sewing than machine sewing LOL

wow - thanks everyone for the tutorial links! I've been searching for an easy one that might benefit all levels of crafters and hadn't found one that seemed right. If I find any to add to the already awesome list I will. thanks, gals! ;)

here's another you might like - parts of this tute are confusing to me but I think just looking at the photos one could figure out how to make it.
