Mug rug.
I used my ginkgo design to make an ITH mug rug. I used variegated thread for the leaves; not too happy with the top left one, the ombré type threads are much nicer.

Thank you.
I have Marathon threads, 12 colours, 1000m spools. They do sell 5000m spools as well. I noticed www.Marathonthreads.com sells them, problem is the colour chart does not give the numbers for the multicoloured threads :( could not find those. I tried with a number of my ombre moss green (5514) and light green (5512) and they apparently sell those as I did not get an error message. They are $ 5.95 and free shipping in the USA for orders over $100.

Isn't it wonderful how a simple leaf can become such an attractive design. Your mug rug is lovely.

I think this is lovely. It highlights the leaf. Could have one done in the muted tones and make another using the bright highlight thread. The bold leaf just accents this. Love it.

Think I told you before Martine I love ginkgos. Tiny little tree in yard across the road from me, about 3 feet tall. Hope I live to see it get to be large. They look really great on your mug rug. I always say they look elegant/Lillian

How delightful to have tree so close, albeit a rather small one. I love the bright yellow autumn colour as well the green leaves, so much lighter than our native trees. And the full-grown ones are quite impressive.

Lovely and I do like the top left one - gives it some punch. How did you do the background on your machine first or last and marked it off - would like to know thanks Karen

I did a basting line first, to keep the batting and top layer in place, then the leaves followed by the cross hatch quilting, .put the fabric for the back face down on top and stitched the seam last. it has an opening for turning at the left hand side, which needs to be closed by hand. It fits a 5x7 in hoop.
I hope this answers your question.

Thank you.
It's funny, I am a cup-and-saucer girl, but since I digitised the pumpkin mug rugs last October I stitched out 18 and digitised 3 more, for all seasons and occasions. Quite a pile!

I love my mug rugs. My everyday china doesn't have saucers, so they are perfect for me.

I don't mean to disagree Mrs. M. but I quite like the top left one as compared to the others........................although they are all very nice. Thank you for showing us your latest creation.
