abd, any day i can get someone else in trouble is a good day!:D i think perhaps we could suggest embellished fabrics so people don't feel they are locked in to color alterations only. i'm excited jacqi has kits. i want to know what all she has.:)
I have angelina fibers, angelina films, a new fabric painting kit, graduation dying kits, Jacquard dye sets, all the chemicals needed for dying, resists too!...I just need to find the pix and make an album of them! OH and Shiva paintsticks and rubbing plates! How could I forget those when I just taught that class last week..hehehe I also have some fiber sets and millions of hot fix crystals in over 30 colors and 2 sizes! |
wow! jacqi! do you have a catalog? i have some supplies and books but i'm waiting for warmer weather, my husband isn't committed to a complete new kitchen when i'm done, so i have to dye outside. another good reason to be in texas.lol!

I love going to my sisters in TX. we go out and dye for a week a straight..she has 50 acres in the woods, so no neighbors, etc...and lots of clothes lines..hehehe |
MaryMo - QuilterMomma sure did make some unique and pretty mug rugs. They do indeed each have a place of their own. Everyone has done a wonderful job. I miss being in on this swap, but have enjoyed being able to pop in and view all of these pretty mug rugs. Everyone seems to be having lots of fun. Keep it going!

I would love to see pictures of all the mug rugs everyone is recieving :)

MaryMo, what beautiful and special mug rugs you got.
Star shine, so glad you got my mug rugs. I will post photos of what I sent you when I get back home. And no worries about not sending mine out yet..take your time. |
OH MY GOODNESS!!
I love all the rugs so far, but, I got my rugs from Donna today and you should all envy me! The only downside is that I won't be able to use them for their intended purpose. Too pretty. I'm going to find round hangers to tack to the back so they can hang in my sewing area. I got the cutest little thread catcher, too! Photos when I get them edited to fit!! THANKS, DONNA! |
We gotta' see those pictures!

I tried to post them all in one message and crashed my computer.
Here is the lady bug I got from abdc: [ATTACH=CONFIG]330687[/ATTACH] I hate that you can't really make out the details. She has dimensional eyes and little thread tentacles, and her wings lift up! So sweet! Here is a back: [ATTACH=CONFIG]330688[/ATTACH] Thanks for swapping with me, abdc! |

Mamaskeeto beautiful rugs!

I received my rugs from jaciqltznok, I would love to see a tut on this process. I love the colors and the process of altering the fabric. Thank you Jac! By the way has anyone ever made a quilt out of the kit you sent me. If so I want to meet them!;)

Pretty mug rugs Leslie.
Abd, glad you got the mug rug. I have been loving curved piecing. |
I just love seeing all the mug rugs.

Just passing through, I would like to know how you all made them so flat! and making the round binding. I made the circles, put the pieces together,but they still didn't come out right. another thing for me to learn!!

The one that I sewed RSF and turned laid flat, but wasn't truly round. It reminded me of the what the wheel must have looked like when the cavemen first made them. |
abdc-- finished yours this a.m. dh should send it tomorrow. btw, it's not flat! :D
lynnie-- i happened to notice dh has your pkg in the 'boot' of his car. so sorry! should go out tomorrow, too! |
Today is the deadline for mailing your rugs. Let me know when your rugs have been received please.......:thumbup:

Once finished, they seemed to lay flat. I think true bias binding is key...or else the binding won't form to the curve and would pull the edges out of whack.

I really, truly enjoyed the ROUND process...it was sort of new to me and it was a bit intimidating, but wow...it is not so bad and I just LOVE the look of all the rugs thus far!
|
I am fascinated that there is always more to learn .... and I'm doing that every day.
