I love your leaves, they are so great right now......may I "borrow" your wonderful idea?
|
Oh my, just didn't go down far enough to see your tutorial...thank you so much for sharing....must try this tonight...what a beautiful gift to bring to my cousin when we go for dinner tomorrow!Do you think I can get a set done by then!
|
Very clever now what ever we see we can think "Um could this be a mug rug?"
|
This is so pretty, and I made a copy for my pattern page, plus I bookmarked the post. I do applique work and leaves are always nice to do. Ditto for quilting patterns. You are a sweetheart for giving us this nice work. :) Roberta

I found some fabrics that would hide stains and wash up well and then made up a few maple leaf mug rugs for our family room. My DH even said he loves them!
So I am now posting this for anyone else who would also like to make them. Seems like an Autumn-y thing to do. If any of you do make one, I would LOVE to see your pictures and see how they come out in different fabrics. Please bear with me while I post the directions and pictures, as I’m going to post them one step at a time to keep them in the right order. |
Lara, This is beautiful. I saved a bunch of leaves for the purpose of doing something like this or for applique. I took too long and threw them out. But I love your mug rug! And I love your title of your picture "mug shot"!!

You are a great instructor. I understood everything
I used to be from Maine and I love the maple leaf. I always get homesick but now I can have my own leaves and as many as I want to make. Thank you so much. |
oh my goodness!! these are absolutely stunning! great tutorial too! I'll be making some of these - I'm sooooooooooo ready for Fall.
I also love your signature line... "my husbands lets me buy all of the fabric I can hide".. that is Great:thumbup: It never fails, my fabric that I purchase online seems to always come on Saturdays, when he is at home. |
Thanks Buzzinbumble, I am going to give it a go as soon as my grandbabies are picked up.
|
Thank you! I'm going to make some for friends that are coming from Australia for our Thanksgiving. The colours will will perfect in Oct.! Because of your kindness I'm sending Canada back with them for their mugs!!! Bless you.
|
Great Job!!!
|
These are so cute. Love the fabric choices.
|
Perfect project to welcome fall. I truly like your choice of pattern and fabric!
|
Wow! Thanks for the idea and tut. Some of us can do most anything once someone comes up with the idea. The possibilities are endless. Christmas symbols, turkeys, hearts, flowers, birds -- you name it. Just think what you have started. Thanks again.
|
I need to go find me some fall leaf fabric and make me some of these. Thank you so much for sharing your great idea.
|
These are just delightful!! Great directions, thanks.

Here is mine...I cheated, I have a die that cuts the leaf out. I do like your better! I used Jeans and did not turn it inside out. I did try to turn one inside out and boy I messed up. I love how you did yours!!! I played with some fancy stitches on my machine and it was fun!
