Mug Rug Swap Recap

Our recent Mug Rug Swap brought together a vibrant community of quilters. They were not just from the United States, but from across the globe! We had participants hailing from places like Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and beyond. Our event truly showcased the international reach of our shared love for sewing. Through our active Facebook group, members enthusiastically documented their progress, showcased their creations, and delighted in the treasures they received.

Swapping Community Showcase

Through our active Facebook Community group, members enthusiastically shared their progress, showcased their creations, and celebrated the treasures they received. From snapping quick progress shots to sharing final reveals. The group was buzzing with excitement at every stage of the swap. It was a simple joy to scroll through the feed and see the variety of projects taking shape.

As the swap progressed, the group turned into a lively gallery where members proudly displayed their handiwork. There was a genuine sense of admiration and appreciation as folks cheered each other on. They left comments filled with compliments and encouragement. And when the packages started arriving, the group lit up with photos and stories of the goodies inside. This added an extra layer of excitement to the whole experience.

Live Show and Tell

Wrapping up the swap, we gathered for a lively Zoom call. During the virtual chat, the participants shared their creations in a virtual show and tell. It was a joyous occasion as partners met online, sharing stories and expressing their appreciation for the experience. The camaraderie and fun of this informal gathering left us eagerly anticipating future swaps.

No Quilter Left Behind

At Sew Much Moore, we prioritize honesty, communication, and community spirit in our swaps. Almost all of our participants honor their commitments. Those who fail to send a package are placed on our naughty list. However, let’s shine a spotlight on our Swap Angels, whose dedication ensured no quilter was left behind.

Swap Angels embody the true spirit of our community, and we deeply appreciate their support. Swap with confidence knowing that most participants fulfill their commitments. We love to keep our swaps enjoyable and supportive for all involved. Huge thanks to our Swap Angels for keeping our quilting family shining bright!
