Mug Rugs and More Mug Rugs....

Check out Mug Rug Madness at the Two More Seconds Blog
They are having tutorials starting Monday, March 21st. I have been having a a great time practicing old techniques and adding new challenges to these min quilts...

In Keeping with Mug Rug Madness I invite you to my "Little GiveAway" with a TWIST........

Just join my Pay It Forward Event Below......

Three Mug Rugs are packed and  waiting for a new home!!!!

Each Mug Rug, while using the same technique and color strips, is an individual and  comes surrounded by some special extras from the Walpole Woods.....(Perhaps a little  Seaclase or a sewing kit from PatriciaBstudio)..... You won't know unless you join up!!! Looking forward to hearing from you...

To join you will need to become a follower of my blog, do a post for Pay It Forward and make sure I have your snail mail address....

Friday Night Sew Along: Update

What fun!!! I grabbed a cup of hot chocolate (because it is still very cold and the snow still blankets the ground in places), put a new needle on my sewing machine, patted Norton's(my furry sewing buddies) head, and began creating. The unfortunate part of this entry is that as I went to photograph my finished projects I found my camera battery low charge and no charger to be found. Off to get a new charger, or to find the one I have in the morning...I will post photo...Thanks for the inspiration everyone...

Friday Night...What better thing to do than to drop everything and sew for a bit....

I plan to join the group at Handmade by Heidi on Friday, March 18th to sew up a storm....If you would like to join us click on over to Heidi's blog....
What will I sew? Maybe I will take my Spider Web quilt out of its dust covered box under the middle cutting table and start to assemble it...
Or maybe I will work on the children's clothing from my sewing class with Whipstitch...
I might just spend time designing a new handbag, an idea that has been tossed around for awhile...

Let's see, I have one week.......

• search the internet and all the wonderful blogs I have found, 
• to chat with friends
• to decide which direction to take..
