In November 2011 we decided that we needed to give our members a short term challenge so we issued a Treat Time Challenge. The rules were very simple, make a coaster ore mug mat that reflects your personality (use of colour, pattern, design, shape, etc.). Coasters are 5" or less finished size, any shape. Mug mats are 6"x10" or less, any shape. Use any materials, embellishments, edge finishes you like. The use of batting is optional. The only rule is that it must be washable. If you use embellishments make sure there is an area for a mug to sit level. We had 23 members take part and brought them in for viewing on Dec 1, 2011.
Mug mat definition: A mug mat is either an extra large coaster or a very small place mat in which a mug and a small plate fits on. Very handy for morning, afternoon or evening snack break. Mug mats can be maide quickly and in any shape for different seasons, holidays or special intersts (cats, laybugs, gardening, golf, etc.).
Below are some of the finished projects.
