One of my most-viewed posts in this blog
is Be My Valentine,
featuring this heart-shaped mug rug.
I showed that mug rug to my friend Sharon,
and she asked me to make
one for her, using earth tones.
{Here's what happened...}

I pulled out some pretty green and brown prints
from my substantial stash.
I used Modern Meadow from Joel Dewberry,
including several shades of Herringbone prints.
Using a fabulous technique from the Quilty Fun book,
I used 8 different prints to quickly piece together
a patchwork swatch. I backed it with Pellon 987F fusible fleece,
and then quilted it in a crosshatch design.
I really {heart} ricrac...
I chose this milk chocolate brown ricrac
trim to outline the edges.
On the back, I used the focus fabric,
highlighting a beautiful tree.
The little eamylove label shows
I made it just for Sharon.
I think I need to make a Christmas version next.
Now where's my Cherry Christmas bundle?
