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!

So I told myself “Lara, Step Away From the Computer”, went for a walk outside in the sunshine, got a real maple leaf and made up my own pattern. 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.
Playing with stitches...this was fun!
