Love the fish Jane/Renata it's a fabulous pattern, I would assume fused then topstitched? The expression is wonderful

I updated the show and tell with all my mug rugs both going and coming that weren't already there. Such a nice collection everyone has. I'm putting all mine up on my studio wall...I just love these little jewels.

ooops ! I got the fish wrong! It is a beautiful koi and it does go perfectly with our surroundings (I think DH is going to wrestle me for this mug rug ) ! Jane, what kind of thread did you use for the applique'? I love the shine it gives off! My first guess is that it might be a Sulky, my second thought a Hemingworth thread but would love to know what it is because I will use it, so perfect!

Thank you, Renata, so glad U like it. Was trying to make a koi fish to go with your oriental decor.

I'm having issues with my ISP right now so I have to wait a bit before I can post to Show and Tell the mug rugs I've received so far--sorry.

I should have gone to the mailbox yesterday but it was raining buckets when it wasn't supposed to... so I just came back now and Jane's beautiful mug rug was there. What an inspiration! The shades of orange in the goldfish are so beautiful--now I know what other fabric I'd like to collect (or go raid Jane's scrap stash!) and the background fabric complements so perfectly. I can't speak enough about how much I love this mug rug with its wonderful fabrics and threads. Thank you so much, Jane, I can't wait to use it!

I've been a really good girl, Norma. The two I have received are in 'Show and Tell', and looking spectacular!

And I have two more ready to do their flying carpet act (Ritzy and Wendy). After that there are only 2 names left on my list.

Mug Ruggers! Remember to post pictures of the ruggies you received here:

They've come to take me away!
They've come to take me away!
They've come to take me away, Ha-ha, ho-ho, hee-hee, hum-hum.
They've come to take me away!

Nurse I think I think I need some more Dried Frogs Pills...)

Yes Liz, if you can stand us, we are all here. Take warning--we have a tendency to drift off topic on this thread but we always manage to work our way back. Would you like to play with us? The way it has been working is someone says they are ready to make mug rugs and others volunteer to exchange with them. Welcome.

Is the Mug Rug still on. Liz Brown,Rochester,NY
