sorry, no pattern. i made it up. it's not difficult, but it's harder to explain. i measured the girth of the cup, created a fish that long, made fins and tails and inserted them. left an opening at the bottom which becomes the tab that connects to the mug rug. quilted in a sort of scale pattern. sewed 3 buttons on each side for eyes, tacked the corners of the mouth. attached fish to mug rug , first by belly tab, and then sewed the reverse of mug rug and batting, folding the fish so it doesn't get caught, turned right side out. sewed a spiral to quilt. hand tacked head and tail in place to fit mug, and left room for the handle between head and tail. that's the readers digest version.
i'm glad you like it. i love being outside the box!

Would you consider doing a photo/text tutorial sometime? You are a terrific out-side-the-box creator!!!!

Poor postie, look what he delivered to my door this morning
First photo: Thankyou so much LindaC for the gorgeous mug rugs, love them all and each one so different. Had to sit right down and read the magazine and spied the 'Crunchy Cheesecake' recipe towards the back..so guess what's for dessert this evening
Second photo: These are the beautiful mug rugs from nancia - we did our own little swap - I love the 'beach' theme and the mugs rugs are so cute - I especially love the fish one. And nancia also sent me a little 'Life's a Beach' tote, a ever so cute purse notepad and some tootsie rolls - I am becoming especially fond of those
What a fun swap this has been.
