I love reverse applique. I did one 25 years ago and framed it. I really like the process and the finished result. Our teacher was a wonderful woman who had most of the nuckles in her hands replaced. I couldn't believe her talent. She was doing life-size knight in armor for a local hotel in the Chicago area. She also had a beautiful piece over her back door window. It really does give the same impression as stain glass. You did a fantastic job. Lucky you to have your aunt to teach you. Must have been a fun visit. Yolanda Wood River
