That is so pretty. It looks like a lot of hours of work went into it.

Don't be too impressed, wait till you see it up close and you'll see all my bad machine applique.
You will hate me, sewbug, when I tell you I did the whole thing (except for washing the fabric, which I did yesterday)today. It was fairly simple, just trace the design onto fusible web, cut it out (some of that was tricky) and press it on. Then I did the button hole stitch around the whole thing. That wasn't too bad around the edges but it took awhile for the cut outs. The fabric is what makes it look so nice, not my workpersonship.

I can't wait to see all of yours! :)

I can't wait to see it finished, too! Sending it off will be like sending a child to kindergarten for the first time. But I know it will be in good hands and everyone will treat it kindly so I have notihng to worry about.
