@sharon1216 Showed Us Her #MarcusMugshot, and Won!

Posted on by

This week’s #mugrugchallenge winner is @sharon1216, otherwise known offline as Sharon.  She chats about her “wine rug” on her blog post (just scroll down after you read about her cute doggie quilt  ; )  There even room enough cheese & crackers and even a few grapes on your wine rug, Sharon — We love it!

Marcus #mugrugchallenge

We know Sharon has inspired everyone to create the own #mugrug, for whatever beverage they like best, no judgement!  You’ve got about two and a half weeks left to enter, and mugrugs are quick to make, so you can actually get in multiple entries…act fast, and remember to include #MarcusMugshot when you post to instagram.

Not on Instagram? Just email your photo instead…either way, you’ll be on your way to a chance to win one of these, or a similar assortment:  Good luck to all!

@lanakuehne Showed Us Her #MarcusMugshot, and Won!

Our third random #mugrugchallenge winner took inspiration from her group of 1930s Aunt Grace prints by Judie Rothermel, with the contemporary touch of striped binding.  And we love her embroidered “Place Mug Here” instructions, just in case you weren’t sure how to use this thing  ; )

MugPrizeHer efforts earned @lanakuehne one of our official Challenge mugs filled with fabrics — she might even be inspired to whip up another and enter again!

And for the rest of you, there’s still time to enter this fun and easy challenge, and your entry is included in every weekly drawing now thru April 30 (unless you win earlier, of course…)  Bst of all, you don’t even have to send us the actual mugrug, just post the photo  with #MarcusMugshot and keep it to enjoy (or give as a gift).

So, the sooner you enter, the more chances you have to win!  What are you waiting for??

Like the magazine, this special publication is beautifully done — a true collector’s item.  Of course, having contributed to one of the articles, we knew it was in the works, but it’s always sew exciting to see the finished product in real life!
