Nice job, thank you for sharing! Those leaves could be used for so many things too, not just mug rugs. ;) I love it. :)

Sew cute and a wonderful tutorial. I'm sitting next to my computer, printer and sewing machine. Any guesses as to what I'll be doing in a few minutes?

Lara, I just love your coasters. I will make some of these for gifts for Christmas. Thanks for taking the time and effort to create this tut. We are all blessed by such generosity of our quilting friends here.

MargeD 09-12-2011 09:38 AM

They are great, and I really love your paisley fabric. Great color choices and I'll have to try making some. They would make great gifts, or stocking stuffers for Christmas.

dphelps 09-12-2011 09:43 AM

Thanks Lara. This is great. Love the end result. Maybe you should try this in different shapes for different seasons.

grandme26 09-12-2011 09:45 AM

Thank you!!! I have a wedding to go to later this month and this will make the perfect gift for the young couple.

jojosnana 09-12-2011 09:54 AM

A lovely addition to the table. So much better that cup rings all over. Thanks for sharing.

BrendaK 09-12-2011 09:55 AM

Kool,Think I'll make some that look like Christmas presents then put a ribbon on them . That would be easier as they could just be square, or any shape I wanted.
Thanks for the tut and for sharing.

Sewfine 09-12-2011 10:13 AM

Wow! that is neat. Thanks for sharing.

ImMiksMom 09-12-2011 10:23 AM

Thanks for sharing! These are great and perfect for the fall. I have copied them into Word and will be printing out and adding to my file! Meghan

susaninmd 09-12-2011 10:46 AM

These are stunning! What wonderful fabrics you have chosen! These are going on my 'must sew for X-mas gift" list. thanks for the great Tut!

mzmama 09-12-2011 10:47 AM

Thanks for a great tute....

Connie in CO 09-12-2011 10:49 AM

I think you could sew the leaves in a circle for a table topper.

Pink Dogwood 09-12-2011 10:52 AM

Thanks for the great tute. Love the idea and it makes the brain start to wonder what other things can we use. You are so creative. Thanks sooooooo much.

adrianlee 09-12-2011 10:52 AM

Thank-you for a great pattern. This will make a great little present, mug rug leaves, for a friend whose birthday is in October. Great tute!!

quilter2theend 09-12-2011 10:53 AM

ccthomas 09-12-2011 10:55 AM

How about Pink Dogwood blossoms? Now that would be lovely! Have you seen that beautiful line of fabric put out by Moda, called Dogwood Trail?

cheryl rearick 09-12-2011 10:59 AM

Wow thank you so very very much. these are really cute. :)

Another member asked where she could get that paisley, so I'll repost here in case anyone else is looking too:

I bought it on eBay about a year ago. You are in luck too, because I did a search on eBay and there is one seller with some fabric from that line. I had used the stripe version for the leaf, but the all over paisley is perhaps even better. Here is a link to the fabric on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Andover-Fabr...item1c1dc4cc59

These are all really great ideas! I can see we all should by stock in the lightbulb factory! :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

I contacted Lara to see if I could put up a link
for this great tutorial in Word format. She
said she would be happy for me to do that,
so here it is. Thanks for the great tutorial,
Lara.
Have a Blessed Day!

I like it! What a neat idea!

BuzzinBumble 09-12-2011 11:59 AM

Oh I think it was really terrific of Marcia to take the time to do that. So Thank You Marcia!!! :thumbup:

Any one of us could have come up with the idea... I just happened to have left the camera laying on my sewing table while i was doing the project. I've gotten so much great inspiration from all you QB members that i felt like I owed something back!

marciacp 09-12-2011 12:11 PM

You are more than welcome. I wish I a way to put
it in PDF, but I don't. And I'm with you, Lara, it's
always nice to give back!
Have a Blessed Day!
