What's on the line? ......... and a little bit of a giveaway........

Edit......... The winner has been notified. As soon as I get her e-mail reply, I'll post her name!
And the winner's name is Sarah who wrote........
Oh Sandi! you're so sweet to us lol. Well I counted fifteen mug rugs out on the line. I think I'll follow the link for the teapot and teacup ones as I know a few people those would suit to a T ;o) Thanks and have a good one. Sarah


That's right. There's an opportunity for a giveaway if you read all the way to the end of this post. First, though, check out what's on the line today..........
It's many mug rugs!  I just thought it would be fun to show you my current collection of mug rugs. I didn't make all of them. Some are from swaps. Here's a couple of close-ups.........
That coffee-themed one on the left was my second mug rug. The first one I made like that was a gift for my son's girlfriend. The next mug rug is scraps left from a tablemat and mug rugs that I made for my daughter. You can check out those items here ......  ChristmasGiftMugRugs
That third mug rug hanging up there on the line is all I could come up with for our Kindred Kwilter's Challenge project. And I didn't use enough of it, so I didn't actually "meet the challenge". It did get me interested in working with batiks, though, and a trip to Firefly Quilt Shop and the purchase of a few batik fat quarters led to the batik flower mug rugs. You can find detailed info on them at this post.........BatikMugRug
And much of this mug rug collection can be blamed on Michele over at Quilting Gallery and the Mug Rug Swap she hosted. Just go here .... TeacupAndTeapotMugRug  ... to see where the teapot and teacup mug rugs came from.........a long way around the world for sure!
I had some Valentine scraps so I had to make the two Valentine mug rugs. The topic of mug rugs was a hot conversation in the Season's BOM group so I organized a swap. I not only got a mug rug from my partner but also from three other members of the group........."just because". I love "just because" gifts. :-) Renita made that cute cat mug rug and you can see it in this post......... Renita'sMugRug

Here's the kitty mug rug that I made for my partner Regina and since one wasn't enough.........
I made her a tulip one, too, and then liked it so much that I made one for me!
Then I made one for my friend, Dorothy, and then one for my sister........... click here to see them... MugRugs
Obviously, I am not the only one addicted to making these things because here's one from Denny in PA and it's perfect in my bathroom. Yes, I now have a mug rug in every room I occupy in the house. :-) Don't you love that sheep fabric? I'm seeing a mug rug in it.........

And another mug rug from PA came from Katie and she is also a crazy quilter so she sent those gorgeous trims that will end up in my crazy quilt blocks!
And my actual swap was Kathy in Georgia and just look at all those goodies she sent me! She teaches at a local shop and has a pattern she designed for a mug rug! She embroidered the little heart with needle and thread running through it. So sweet!
Am I lucky or what? All these mug rugs and I was so inspired that I just had to make all those mug rugs for my guests at my DayTreat event.............
Each one is different but all are made from Jacquelynne's SewingRoomSocial fabrics. And so finally...........if you've read this far............you can earn a chance to win the goodies in this photo below...........

These are just a few of the items that were extras at my DayTreat.........a pretty green candy dish, some "Sewing Room Social" Charm Squares, butterfly bath salts, a little bowl of candies, some notecards, a fat quarter of one of the 30's fabrics that I am using in my CandyDish quilt blocks, a pattern from Jean Devereux with her sweet ceramic buttons and .......ta da..........a mug rug, of course! Just leave a comment on this post with your name and make sure you have an e-mail link. Just one requirement for this giveaway........tell me how many mug rugs are hanging on the line in the first picture. :-) Winner will be announce on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
Have a great Monday! See you next post with info on how I used my GO!Baby to make those mug rugs!
Sandi

So many cute mug rugs. Something I want to make someday....when all my UFOs are done :0)

Crispy - Don't put me in the drawing as I would probably never use the pattern and it should go to someone who would :0)

Mommarock said...

Such great prizes.. I see chocolate in that picture.. LOL... I counted, re-counted... and then counted again just to be sure and came up with 15 mug rugs on the line.. they are quite nice mug rugs! I'm gonna have to get myself in gear..I havn't made mug rugs.. it's the bindings that still scare me. I need a good tutorial about the joining of the two ends.

Michele T said...

You have the sweetest collection of mug rugs... I counted 15!

I count 15 mug rugs on your line. I have been caught up in the craze. I am having a birthday (significant) this month and have made one as a gift from me for each of the five ladies in my little quilt group. One side has a friendship star for their friendship and the other side has a cupcake. jr from ontario

Amy, a redeemed sheep said...

I have a question on the sheep fabric....Do you know who it's made by? If I could get my hands on some, I would be thrilled!!

Kathryn said...

With 15 mugs on the line, you have more than enough for one for breakfast and one for lunch for a week. Very nice. Thanks for the giveaway. I don't have a mug rug yet, so yours would be the first. Kathie L in Allentown

Beth said...

What an adorable collection of mug rugs! All 15 of them. Thanks for the chance to win one. Thisis a project that is on my to do list and seeing them all together really makes me want to drop everything else and get some done.

Pat said...

I, also, counted 15 mug rugs in the first photo of your post. You sure do have a collection now, don't you? I had to chuckle to think you might be using a mug and having a sweet treat of some sort in the bathroom (since you put a mug rug there). I'm thinking I should put one there on the countertop to hold a small plant or a vase with flowers or maybe some pretty lotions.

Needled Mom said...

All fifteen mug rugs are great, Sandi, and they look so pretty hanging on the line. This looks like a current picture with the bare trees in the background.

Nancy said...

15! I bought some fat quarters this weekend to make some mug rugs for my class (or let them make them as my time is running out) to practice quilting techniques on. These are beautiful. I love the log cabin version.

I counted 15 mug rugs. I can not decide which I like the best. Shouldn't a person be able to have several "favorites"?

Mary Grace McNamara said...
