Would you like me to send you my address @Iminei if it's more convenient than you having to hunt it out from wherever?

Can’t wait to get started, don’t usually feel like this,  it’s probably my new machine, just hope I have some fabric just going to look or maybe a shopping trip might be on the cards.

Yes please @Flobear  ... I hadnt realised you were in ...
Any others not sent me the all important MugRug swap 2021 pm ????

If I have all the addresses collated in the same place it makes sending out your swappees so much easier.

Names and addresses by the end of the day peeps!

So many beers, so little time.

You're in @realale ....

Ive written out all the names and popped them in the hat (saucepan) from which my not so glamorous assistant (me) will be drawing them later tonight.

When your swappess are sent to your emember to keep their name and address safe.

When you have made your MugRug/s make sure its the best you can do and you would be pleased to receive it and do post in time for it to reach its new owner for the Big Reveal on the 22nd of this Month!

Please dont let anyone down!!!!  :devil:

I have mine all cut out ready to sew  :) I practised one to check how it looked, have made adjustments so hope it will be okay.

I’m new to this - newbie  question!  I’m curious to know if the person we send to is different from the person we receive from, or are we exchanging with a partner?

That's an excellent question @Stitchalot  and I shall explain the highly sophisticated method we use to choose your Swappees (note not partners)
 
Firstly I tear up A4 sheets of paper into equal sizes, write a name on each piece, fold the pieces identically, throw them in a large saucepan and jiggle it around a lil.

I then leave it for a few hours, check there are no last minute requests, add any last minute names, jiggle the saucepan around a bit more and then draw the names, pairing them with a list of names in the TSP's lil Red Book of Swaps and So On. (yes there really is one!)

Miraculously all the names drawn were different to the next name on the list!!!

So peeps, you have your swappees names and addresses, now is the time to make your Mug Rug/s (yes you can make a set if you wish, but expect to receive only one.)

* * * * * * * * *

Please mark the outside of your package TSP MR 2021 or similar to avoid your swappee opening by mistake!

Remember to leave enough time for your MR to get to your Swappee in time for the Big Reveal on the 22nd.

Please drop a line here a day or two after you've posted and when you've received your package. (Saves a lot of grey hair and worry for the sender)

Please take the time to post a couple of pics and a Thank you to your Swappee here on Wednesday 22nd September.

You can, if you wish, open your gift before the 22nd but it would be nice to host the Big Reveal here on the Day of The Autumn Equinox!

@WildAtlanticWay
Many thanks for the details on making mug rugs and I found the instructions easily enough on YouTube so I will sort out some fabric and hope to produce something. :sew:
