Join the fun and be empowered! Make the elegantly playful Tudor Rose Mug Rug by hand reverse appliqué and with appliqué for a unique, dimensional look! The techniques you will use are the same for both appliqué and reverse appliqué. It’s just a matter of knowing where to cut to create your seam allowance.You will learn Margaret’s quick and easy steps in Eye of the Beholder’s trace, baste, snip, and stitch process to create your mug rug by hand. You will get pointers on how to successfully needle-turn appliqué, giving you crisp points and graceful curves. See the dimensional magic of the Tudor Rose Mug Rug (8" x 8") revealed as you stitch. It’s cute in an assortment of colors, you can’t make just one.

If you want to learn a bit about this technique before the workshop, check out our Tutorials section on the website: Hand Reverse Appliqué tutorial.

See below for downloadable Workshop preparation/materials list and Pre-cutting list. It’s essential that you pre-cut as there will not be time in the workshop to do this, so this will help us make best use of our time together. All links open in a new window.

There are required Materials for a fee that must be purchased in addition to the workshop.

If you’d like us to select your materials for you, you can also choose to buy an optional fabric kit put together by us perfectly to suit the pattern’s design and style. There are several colorways to choose from.
