Ok, where have I been? Never heard of a mugrug. Is it something like a coaster? Love to see a picture of them.

My grandson Nolan made me a rug mug last summer. He was 7 at the time. I love it and use it everyday. The grands like to use the featherweights and this was Nolans project for me. I sold quite a few at the craft sale for gals to use at the office.

I use mine by my computer at home as that is where I have my morning coffee. I love it and have made one as a gift for a friend & am thinking of making some as Christmas presents for my small group. I went to a quilt show over the weekend and was talking to one of the vendor's and mentioned it to her, she had never heard of them but said they sounded cute. I suggested she make some to sell at the shop, I may make one to take to her as a sample so she can see what I am talking about.

I, too, am making some as a back to school gift for some of my teacher friends. froggyintexas

I will try to get a demo on the clothesline mug rug out this week on my blog.

I am actually excited about doing it...I need some more anyway. Mine keep disappearing after visitors leaves.........hmmm

Keep those left over quilt scraps...you'll need 'em! :lol:

Please let us know when you do your tutorial. I have never seen or heard of a clothesline one.

I guess my hubby was wrong & these will get used, lol!!! He was so funny thinking about cookie crumbs on his coaster~ I reminded him that these do get washed!!! Thanks for all of the replies. I am thinking I may use use of my small orphan blocks next...I could get hooked on making these because I love using up those little bits & pieces. Since I am a hand quilter these will give me a chance to practice my machine quilting. I get the best ideas from all of you ladies sharing here :o)

I've given them with a coffee mug and some tea bags inside as a gift and have seen them used.

I use mug rugs or coasters all the time. All of my tables are solid wood and setting cans or glasses on the surface makes a horrible ring that damages the surface. I even use a cork coater under a jar candle to keep the heat away from the wood of the furniture.

Your idea made me think ... at a restarant today my water glass dripped water down my blouse... condensation you know, so I am going to make some to take out to eat. That should help, right?
