October Mug Rug Exchange

As announced at the meeting yesterday evening, for the October meeting we will be doing a mug rug exchange with the theme of October, so your choice of Halloween, Harvest, and/or Autumn. Let your imagination run wild (appropriate to the season ;-) ), or be inspired by some of the links at the end of the post!

Dimensions:

• Large enough to be a coaster for a mug, but not so big that it gets in the way of whatever you are doing while drinking from your mug.

Methods:

• Quilted and bound, single block in autumn colours of any abstract pattern (rail fence, nine patch, etc.)
• Foundation, or English, paper pieced object related to one of the themes.
• Regular or improvisational piecing or appliqué of an object related to one of the themes.
• Non-pieced, but quilted, themed fabric.
• Any other quilted method I haven't yet mentioned... :-P

Participation:

• If you bring one to the October meeting, you will leave with one!

Sign-up:

• None

Wrapping:

• Paper bag, or other opaque wrapper, so that what the recipient will have a pleasant surprise.
• The addition of candy is not discouraged... ;-)
