Thanks Judi! I got a kick out reading about the reaction you got from your church friends! LOL... It makes me happy that you liked them. Yes, the technique tranfers easily to many kinds of shapes and it is fun and easy to do. Some of the things people have suggested on the tutorial have got me going too. I like your apple idea. I have quite a few more leaves i need to stitch for family members that saw mine and then I'll try your apple. If you can, post pictures of your leaves and things so we can see what kinds of fabrics work well! :thumbup: (Oh! PS: I'm the quilter)
