YuCK!!! Rum rations seem much more reasonable don't they?  |

Lois I am so with you there, sewing is so much more interesting than cleaning. (I spent most of today cleaning as the house had reached the critical point of almost no return.

Hey, I am way behind in this thread. I wasn't recieving email notices. Jane & Zarra, all these rugs are just gorgeous. Hope you do a tutorial on that edging. I have some ready to mail. Some crazy stuff demanding my attention here. And then I got the spring cleaning (or rather purging) bug and when that bug bites me I'd better take advantage because it seldom gets me.
Then I wonder what the big deal was when I get started and so happy to be rid of things I no longer need.  Actually, not much cleaning has happened but now that some stuff is gone it would be easier were I so inclined. I think I'll sew instead.  It's so much more interesting. |

Jane, I love what you did with reproducing the smaller design into the center--so original, delicate and beautiful. Congratulations, Norma, on receiving such a beautiful mug rug.  Speaking of Norma and mug rugs... I could not concentrate anymore on Chinese Whispers until I did this posting. Last night I found in my mailbox a very nice note from Norma on an embroidered card--so beautiful that I thought I had received two mug rugs! Oh, what a beautiful mug rug! and the detail and thinking that went into it exquisite! a beautiful flower with muted fabrics that mimic an ocean wave for this crusty old sailor... the colors of the ocean along the coast between Corsica and Sardegna on an early spring morning, and then a golden ochre fabric with an underlying hint of pale blue green (I might be mistaken on the colors but they are just gorgeous). I've never seen the edging done the way Norma has and I am hoping she will teach me how to do it. I'm in love with this mug rug, Thank you, Norma!  I wonder if this posting will be enough to go back to Chinese Whispers or if I'll just have to have an espresso in my Sardinian espresso cup before going back to work! Attachment <!-- ia1 -->P1010200.JPG<!-- ia1 --> not foundP1010201.JPG So, Renata, I think I must answer you here to get you calmed down to be able to whisper again .I'm happy, that you like it and I see that it goes well to your cup. The fabrics are my own dyed and monoprinted and I happen to love the golden fabric, too. I will teach you how to do the edging. Thanks for your emails. I will answer them shortly |

So glad you like it, Marilyn. The little basket is from the pattern by Edyta Sitar. Would like to figure out a way to use my HST's and spools from the other 2 exchanges with those little baskets, but haven't figured it out yet. I'd love to hear from anyone with an idea for a design on how to do that.
And having been "born" in Wickenburg, AZ (#1 cowboy town in AZ) just had to have the boots on the back. |

Jane, what a pretty mug rug for Marilyn! LOVE the cowgirl boots! |

Renata I think you are more the 'saucy sailor' than the 'crusty sailor'!
Love your mug rug and your card. Norma what beautiful work. You may have one espresso but then it's back to work for you or we will have to put you in the scuppers with the hosepipe on you... And Marilyn, your mug rug is gorgeous too. Jane what a great mug rug. I am really loving seeing all these different mug rugs. |

What an exquisite mug rug you received, Renata. That opens up all kinds of ways to express these lovely little works of art. Thanks, Norma, for working "outside the box." This is gorgeous!
