In this swap we’ll be crafting one mug rug for our partners.
- Mug rugs can vary in size and shape but should be roughly around 5” x 8”.
- Any techniques can be used…patchwork, embroidered, knit, etc. but keep in mind that the rug should be able to absorb a bit of moisture and protect surfaces from warm drinks.
- Please only send one completed mug rug to your partner. No extras.
- There is a 2 partner option for those who want to make and receive 2 partners! (please see description below!)
- We have only a 3 week crafting time this round.
- Posting to the discussion thread or PM’ing organizers is required at least every 2 weeks.
- Have fun!!
