check your mailbox TODAY!!!

You simply have to if you participated in the mug rug swap from the Quilting Gallery.

For once I checked our mailbox on the way into town before picking up all the kids from school.  And besides the free MAGGI soup sample that was waiting there I also received an envelope from Sharon. When I opened the envelope I found beautiful blue fabric inside folded like an envelope. Inside the fabric were two absolute awesome mug rugs. Just gorgeous. The quilting  is AMAZING. And of course the fabric. There was the missing yellow fabric for my black and white quilt. Sewed right into the mug rug.  THANK YOU so much Sharon.

Check out all the quilting from close up.

The mug rugs I mailed off to Becky last week arrived in her mailbox today, too.

Just as I said, you might want to check YOUR mailbox.

It is not a quiet Sunday morning. We already did our errands for the day and also collected Chiara from her friend's house ealy in the morning and the girls are busy on their sewing machines to manufacture little felt pillows for their barbie dolls and whatever else they come up with. Soren is something today. Grumpy and not in a good mood. He is messing with the girls nonstop.

However Soren did not mind helping me hanging all the mug rugs with clothespins on the tree outside for our mini photo session of mug rugs. The colors pop right out on this grey morning. The swap only asks for two mug rugs, but I haven't made up my mind which ones yet.  I just found out yesterday about my secret swap partner and to see if she would like them.
