Our quilt guild had a mug rug swap gift exchange at our Christmas Party this year. I went back and forth for weeks about what I wanted my mug rug to look like. I FINALLY settled on the idea that I wanted to incorporate french macarons in the project some how, as well as a fun quote. I was looking through my Quote board on Pinterest and reflected back to my very first pin:
(This fun little print from Gayana on Etsy.)
I thought that if I swapped out the Ice Cream for Macarons (Edited: I’ve had a few emails about macaron being spelled wrong. I used the french spelling: French Macaron) I’d be a happy camper, and hopefully the person receiving my mug rug would be be too!
I LOVE how it turned out!
If you want to make your own here’s how!
Materials:
Small scraps for macarons
1 Fat Quarter of white/cream fabric for embroidery
1 Fat Quarter for sashing, borders, and back
1 small piece of quilt batting, approximately 8″ x 10″
(I used some fabrics from the Ruby line designed by Bonnie & Camille for Moda. The little scallops were the perfect macaron fabric!)
Embroidery PDF Pattern (This is in both color and gray format. I used the light gray one and print directly on my fabric. You can use your favorite method to transfer it to your fabric.)
Macaron Applique PDF Pattern (If you have a Silhouette Cameo feel free to use this JPG to trace and cut)
Step 1: Transfer the Embroidery pattern onto your fabric and embroider.
Step 2: Cut out macarons and applique to a piece of white, cut to 4″ x 4 3/4″.
Step 3: Piece together mug rug following the diagram below:
Don’t forget it’s 1/4″ seams!
Step 4: Quilt and Bind as desired!
Thank you so much I LOVE this mug rug and shall be making it. Patti xoxo
I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours as of
late, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours.
It is pretty worth sufficient for me. Personally,
if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you
probably did, the internet can be much more useful than ever before.
