Well I got 'reeeeeally' brave and did the tiniest stippling all around the applique...it came out quite good for my first attempts!! So all that's left is to trim it back and get the binding on, shouldn't be long now :-D
Hopefully I should get the tutorial done beginning of the week, as we have booked last minute to have a week's break on the Island of Gran Canaria, one of The Canary Islands, which is close to Africa. We go on Thursday, hopefully will be warmer than here!! :thumbup:
