Thanks to Lovely Lynn's lesson that I mentioned a couple of days ago, I now know how to prepare applique, so I've decided to add some flowers to my Heartfire blocks as I make them. So far, I've prepared the 3 shapes you can see in the picture. Before that, I did 2 others in some scrap fabrics, but I'm not showing you those! If I add the flowers to all the blocks I will need 39 I think, and these 3 took me several hours, so it might be some while before I have done them all. They're not perfect I know, but not too bad for my first attempts. Hopefully I'll get quicker too?
Clever girl, look forward to seeing them. I love appliqué but I don't love how long it takes to do it properly.
ReplyDeleteHave I just read correctly that you are working with scrap fabrics?! 😃😃J x
ReplyDeleteScrappy?! Your trip must have been life changing.
ReplyDeleteGood for you in applying what new technique you have learned. And I'll chime in - scrappy!!
ReplyDeleteYou are shocking everyone by showing applique on your blog! Did you laugh as much making your three flowers as you did when you were here making one pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure how I missed this post...except that I was sewing like a fiend! So how's that glue thing going??? I'm finding it a challenge to find all the cool little gadgets Lynn had in her toybox...but it's coming along between hither,yon,persistance & eBay!
