Charity Mug Rug Holiday Project
At our July meeting, we introduced our project for nursing home residents this upcoming holiday season; 8” x 10” mug rugs. Are you considering making a few? Do you have a favorite 8” block pattern you are going to use? Do you need some inspiration? A couple of quilters shared with me they plan to use the paper piecing design from the workshop at our recent retreat. What a great idea! If you have questions, please stop by the charity table or email charity@nlcqg.org.
