Quiltsy Team Great Finds: 1-17-15

Winter is here, but where is the snow?  I know many don't like snow, but I love it.....as long as I can stay in the house and watch it fall with a nice big mug of hot chocolate.  I like hibernating - and not having to go out means I get to work on stuff around the house and SEW! 

The Quiltsy Team is in the midst of a fun team event - a mug rug swap.  Those participating get paired with another and each makes a mug rug to send to the other.  No pictures are exchanged so it is a surprise package!  If you're not familiar with "mug rug" it is like a large coaster, but smaller than a placemat.  It typically it can fit a mug and a small dish for a snack.  Mug rugs are inexpensive ways to add something fun to your decor.  Since this is going on, I decided to feature some mug rugs available from some Quiltsy Team members.

My mother and I make up the Olive Street Studio design and sewing team.  I cannot remember my mom NOT sewing or quilting.  Since 2003, we've made chenille and cotton baby quilts, baby gift sets, little girls dresses and skirts.  In 2013, we expanded into Home Decor quilts and after getting requests for even bigger quilts, we're working on larger quilts too.  Then, with extra time, because we all have extra time, ha ha, we also make reversible tote bags, smaller handbags, and zipper pouches.  I joined the Quiltsy Team on Etsy in 2010.
