It’s been a while since I worked on an applique
project. When a group I sew with decided
to do a project for the guild’s silent auction in February, I was assigned the
task of appliqueing three of the medium size butterflies for a quilt designed
by Edyta Sitar. Today I was able to pass
these blocks off to the person who will embroider the antennae. Our instructions were to use any applique
method we liked as long as it was turned edge and stitched by hand.
I elected to use starch and a heat resistant template to prep the wings.
After letting it rest several days, I returned to the Kim
Diehl project with all the blunted points.
I worked on it a little more and I think it is better.
Beautiful butterflies.....love your hand work. Your points looks good....no more worrying about them:)
