Interesting instructions
I just bought the kit for Across the Wide Missouri by Edie McGinnis and Jan Patek (half price woohoo). The instructions are "applique in place in a whimsical fashion". I have never heard it phrased this way and I guess it is up to me to decide on "whimsical".
My hubby thought it was incredibly funny and is waiting for me to be whimsical so he can post a youtube of it. haha.
Has anyone every gotten an explanation of what a "whimsical fashion" means?

Did you get it from Craft Town? Thats a cute pattern. I think whimsical could also mean the applique stitch it self, (primitive etc.) when you look at the actual pattern pieces. A button hole stitch would be in keeping with that pattern.

I guess I am always whimsical because I put things where I want them on a pattern. This is an easy applique because it is simple and the pieces are big and two different women made it to illustrate different styles and choices. The pictures are not big enough to show a stitch but I think Patek uses needle turn.
