Mug Rug Swap, cont

I told you, I would be back today, that doesn't happen that often, LOL

So, here is my swap partners mug rugs

I just love how we all come up with different 

mug rugs, these will be used with love.  Did you notice the 

Keepsake Needle Card to the left?  Do you remember your grandma 

or mom having these, I do, and I still have some, and others I 

have collected over the years.  They use to be given out by stores our

grandmas and moms use to shop with the the stores names on them.

I love having tea when it is cool enough to have some, so I will enjoy 

my mug rugs with my tea.

Thank You, again Carmie.

I still have pictures to post of projects I will be teaching at Hobby Lobby,

so I will do that the next I come back to visit.  

Till then, Happy Stitching and Blessed Days,

RoseMary

Mug Rug Swap

Quilting Gallery and Little Green Cottage joined together to bring us 

Mug Rug Swap.

We were to make our rug mugs for our partner who lives in a different 

part of the country or in another country.  We were to email our new friend and

get to know them.  My partner is from Liberty Center, IN, pop, 100.  And I live 

in South Florida just north of Miami with a pop. of over 1 million.  I came from 

a small farming community of about 600, and that was in 1975.

Here was the start of my mug rugs, I love it when I go though the scrap 

basket and start pulling little pieces of fabric out.  This is why I save

all of my scraps, (Sam) some of them are very small in size.  

And here are the ones I finished.

A little different then the pattern, I put a bee instead of a butterfly,

and my house on the bottom is going the other way.

I will post my partners tomorrow after I take a picture of them.

Off to bed now.

I hope you have enjoyed the mug rugs,

RoseMary

Harvest Blessings!

I just finished my Harvest Blessings table mat, it has only taken, let me see, I moved to 

North Carolina in 2001, started and finished the hand work there, then moved to Ohio in 

2006, then to Virginia in 2013 and finally to Florida 2014,  somewhere around 13 years,

but it's done now.

 Never give up on getting things done, better late then never!

Just in time for the harvest season.

Matt 9:37-38

Blessings always,

Tea Cup Exchange Lost

My Tea cup that I sent out to my exchange friend was lost in the Miami mail somewhere!

I sent the cup and saucer in different boxes, I could not find one large enough for both to go in.

I didn't even take a picture of it, so sorry i didn't do that now.  I hope it will show up, along with

the history of it.

But here is the tablerunner and tea rugs, I made to go with it.

The tea cups and tea pot in the picture are my. 

See what my new friend Dolores from Anchorage, AK sent me for the 

Tea cup exchange in the last Post.

Till next time enjoy some tea with a friend,

Tea Cup Exchange with NEW Friends

A little while back I found a blog about tea and other items of Friendship.

www.theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/p/tea-cup-exchange.html

Please visit Stephanie at the link above.

If we chose to be apart of this exchange, we were to send a tea cup to the person who's

name we were given and send some others items that a tea lover would enjoy.
We had to send the tea cup out within a week, I can't make anything in a week to send with
the tea cup, I will have to post what I am sending her when I am done, I just went today to find the
fabric to make it, while I'm still working on a grandchild quilt and a few other things,
you should see my list of  WIP's, I'm working on.

I sent my tea cup without taking a picture of it first, (when will I ever remember to take pictures of everything, no matter what I doing with it).
But, I did send the history of my tea cup with it, where it came from and why it was
used, where it was used and for what reason.
My new friend is not far from where I live in south Florida, she lives in Miami.  I have not heard back from her yet.  

Here is my tea cup, I received from my new friend in Anchorage, AK

Thank You Dolores
I love and collect tea cups with roses and love Lavender.
I can't wait till I sit down and enjoy a cup of tea from your cup.
May I add, I have never used tea that was not in a bag, so I will now have to learn how to
use a  diffuser.  I have wanted to and now I have no reason not to.

Also, Dolores wrote a sweet note with her package at the end she wrote,
Numbers 6:24-26
It reads:
"The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you.
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance (favor) upon you,
And give you peace.

Till next I see you, remember the verse
above.

ThreadHeads Bee

I can't believe it's been been over a month since my last 

post, I've been working on multiple projects and guess I've been too busy

to notice that I have missed posting and keeping up with long distance and blog 

and quilting friends.

Well, fall has not come to South Florida yet, was told 

we only get a few cold fronts, we will see what they call 

cold fronts.

 Here are a few members of our ThreadHeads Bee Group

Kim, RoseMary(Me), LaDonna, Sam and Wendy and D.O.G. putting in

his two cents, and Lisa (not pictured) was

visiting her mom in Georgia.

Kim, Megan, LaDonna, Sam and Wendy

We get together once a month right now, this month we 

 made little pumpkins that could be used for pincushions

or just for fall decorations.

Two of us are from California, two from Massachusetts, 

one from Kansas and two from Florida.  Kim and I, both from Calif have sons in the 

Air Force.

Small world when you start meeting new people and getting to know them.

 Happy Stitching from South Florida
