Christmas in July ;-)

Boy, have I been busy in my sewing room!

Here are some pics of the CIJ Mug Rugs/Table Mats I have made for my partners (yes, plural) in the Christmas in July Mug Rug Swap on the Christmas Block Swap Blog.
I gave myself an extra partner to even up the numbers ;-) then I found I had inadvertently left someone off the list :-( ooops!

So here we go!
I won't say who these are for so as not to ruin the surprise when they reach their destination.












While I was sewing, I used one of the hot chocolate packets that came with the mug rug from Diane

Thank you Diane, this was soo yummy! can't wait to try the others ;-)
Diane and I must have been on the same wavelength, as when she posted photos of her mug rug on her blog, I was working on this ;-)

 



I am really pleased with how this turned out ;-) I love using my new Dresden Plate ruler.

Now off to do some more sewing ;-)
