No I didn't @Iminei - I was a bit too busy.  I wish I had made one - I could have put acorns on it!!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

There's no real cut off date, I suppose if there were to be one it would be when I allocate you your partners in the first week of March ... Get busy Peeps ... Spring is around the corner!

You're OK @Lisalou1965 . Just let Imi know you're in and pm her your address.

I've never seen a fabric postcard but do have and use mug rugs.
I'm also happy to post overseas, just in case you needed to know @Iminei .

At what size does a mug rug become a placemat?

I have mugs of all sizes, so I reckon a mug rug can be any size.   :)

Well a placemat needs to be able to accommodate a plate and cutlery ...
so I would say significantly larger than a MR ...

Spent the afternoon making  2 spring mug rugs ( mine are 6” square). I unexpectedly had no Gran duties today as my son-in-law had a weather related day off. Seemed a bit strange thinking of Spring as sleet lashed the sewing room window, but hopefully it’s not too far off. :flower: :drink:

No pictures of course!
