At the NBQA Quilt show, with their entry fee, visitors are given a booklet guide to the show and a "favor" of a "yo yo" pin or "mug mat."

NBQA members are encouraged to make Mug Mats for the show and turn them in at NBQA general meetings or to Ginny Perry.

There are 3 types of mug mats to choose from. 2 traditional types made from scrap fabrics of your choosing, the 3rd  is new this year -our "NBQA Signature" mug mats. The Signature mats are unique because “NBQA Quilt Show 2008” is written along a center muslin strip. Click this link for instructions.

Instructions for a fourth style are below:
