Thanks to all who have written such nice comments about my Nutcrackers. I'll post pictures each time I make three more, and when I finally finish, I'll take a photo of the entire quilt. I hope each character gets easier to applique - - but somehow I doubt it. The teeth, eyes, eyebrows and lips are very small. I have to bring my satin stitch down to a 1.5 setting. Also, after it is quilted, I'll be able to add all the embellishments...such as jewels for the crowns, laces for the boots, a chain for the watch fob, etc. Belles
