I have gotten started on my applique.........first time go at it. I've
dabbled at it before but not serious. The bunnies are way too cute. I've
posted a couple pics of them in my "in progress" album if you care to have a
peek.

I started off with 5 blocks of the puppies........ a trial run. Got the
kinks worked out and moved on to the bunnies as I want to make a baby quilt.

Things I have learned in my trial run...........the micron permanent pens
are not permanent when used on paper. I used the peel off paper from the
steam-a-seam as a template, drew the inside details lines and sewed through
the paper onto the pattern. Ink transfer onto my thread.

Also, I found it looked much nicer to pull the loose threads to the back and
tie rather than back/forth to anchor at beginning and ending lines. Also
learned patience by doing this :)

But all in all it is going rather well.

Ann,

Being I know nothing about applique it sure looks nice and neat to me.
I think it is great work.

Very nice! You have way more patience than me. I have
never had the tenacity to do buttonhole applique lol.
