Maple Leaf Mug Rugs!
Fall is falling!
I love everything about fall.
Fall fabrics and colors are my favorites.
I found how to make these mug rugs when I spent some time
in the beautiful Green Mountains in Vermont.
At Stowe Fabric & Yarn ,
a lovely shop tucked on a side street in this picturesque town center,
they had some pretty maple leaf shaped mug rugs.
my sweet Butterfly was there to help me.

Sew I was off and sewing my own maple leaf mug rugs.
Katniss helped.
For the first one I followed the pictorial from the Quilting Board.
It makes a beautifully shaped leaf.
Sew.
Batting Side.
Trim.
Cut to shape.
Turn right side out and smooth points to shape.
By the second one I was sewing without the paper.
I cut to size, sandwiched and then sewed.
Works for me!
I did not use the paper pattern for quilting either.
Also, I found the "v" at the bottom a little too tricky for me.
These are very pretty and coaster size.
Then I decided to simplify the pattern and make it a little larger.
I drew and cut my own pattern.
Feel free to print for your own use.
Edit: I have updated and added a Google Doc version of this template.

Happy Fall Sewing!

I made those coasters too. I used subtly patterned fabric in fall leaf colors and went crazy quilting the veining. My mother has hers out year round. So cute! Aren’t those small projects great- use up scraps and fast to finish! Thanks fir sharing!
