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

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.

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"!!
