Hello, Kitten… First attempt at a new idea. This is something I started on yesterday afternoon and worked on after lunch again today. It is all raw edge applique. I just top stitched next to the edges. Then free motioned loopy loops on the beige rose background and did some tiger stripey details on the […]

And I have been cutting, matching up, sewing, pressing, cutting, trimming, pressing again and clipping these little treasures for days! But it still […]
