doglover you are so sweet to offer!!
I had not even thought of just embroidering her some fabric up! I have an embroidery machine too and just had not even thought that. I was hoping to find some blocks either pieced or paper pieced. I'll have to draw it out on paper and see if I can drunkard's path some wheels and whatnot... It might work with some fancy planning...
I'm not too keen on applique. I know lots of people just love it, but I haven't been bitten by that bug yet... I guess yet is the operative word, right? lol.
hahaha - I just went to that site with the applique out of curiosity - and I am just laughing at that feathered helmet. That is just too funny!!
