I keep pushing myself to try new things. There are so many sewing and quilting techniques to learn! One of my goals is to create my own original patterns, and to perhaps teach others to sew and quilt. This is one of my first attempts at creating a pattern!
Please accept my gift of a FREE pattern! It is fairly simple, for beginners. The small mug rug combines wool hand appliqué, machine piecing, and some ‘big stitch’ hand quilting. I’ve put together fabric requirements, basic piecing, appliqué, embroidery, and finishing instructions. Please take a look, and let me know what you think. Give it a try; feel free to let me know where improvements could be made in my instructions.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a tutorial on Wool Appliqué. Check it out if you need a refresher.
I also made a sample using all cotton fabrics and embroidery thread.

Adorable! Thank you very much.
Enjoy!
