Swap Guidelines

For this swap, you will make TWO Mug Rugs that finish at approximately 10″x6″ (or 9.5″/10.5″ x 6.5″). Your Mug Rugs do not have to match or even coordinate. Your finished Mug Rugs must be made with 100% cotton, quilted, and bound securely (no zig zag edges!). You can include a small label on the back if you wish.
This swap was inspired by Ryan Walsh’s mug rug tutorial. You can use Ryan’s tutorial if you like, but you don’t have to. You can piece, appliqué or embroider your Mug Rugs, as long as they are washable.
Here are a couple of Mug Rugs I’ve made:

Registration closes January 18th. Partner information will be sent by January 21st. The deadline to mail your Mug Rug is February 14th for international shipments (including Canada/USA) and February 21st for domestic shipments. All Mug Rugs should arrive at their destination no later than February 28th.
Anyone not meeting the shipping deadline will not be allowed to participate in any new swaps for an entire year.
It’s a SECRET swap, so please don’t tell your partner who you are in advance , but go ahead and post pictures of your progress on your blog and in the Flickr group.

Gifts: You are not required to send any additional gifts to your swap partner. You may do so if you wish, but keep in mind the partner assigned to you may not send you any additional goodies.
Please, if you sign up to participate, follow through. It would be a shame for someone else not to get their wonderful Mug Rugs in the mail.
