Oh I Love that color you chose! And your first one looks WAY better than my first one, which I did not use in the tutorial! ;) It gets easier with each leaf. (whew!)

The way your stitching stands out in contrast is really nice. I wonder if we could do it with machine embroidery thread to make the veining stand out even more?

i am going to try some sparkle thread when i do mine..lol

back to quilting ..!

Wow that would be cool!
Thanks for updating the pdf. file too ~ Much appreciated! :D

Thank you for the tut, I'll be bookmarking it!! Those are so cute!!

Each step was so easy to follow - nice job! I'll be trying this one for Autumn. Would make a nice hostess gift for Thanksgiving.

Sorry to be posting so much, but here are two topics from other members with collections of mug rug poems for gift tags. (Which was what got me thinking about mug rugs in the first place)
