Windham has free patterns on their web site. I made one that had a willow tree appliqued in the center with crows, surrounded by different pieced blocks, and a swag of willow tree branches with crows in the corners of the last border. I fused all the pieces that were applique and then button hole stitched around them with floss. It turned out beautifully, and was not hard at all. All the different fabric companys have free patterns on their web sites. Hope you find one you like.
