Funny you should ask! I enjoy seeing the patterns and finally just decided to buy and try one of the patterns. It's not difficult, and I didn't use her fabrics, but similar. The background is what I couldn't get close to with fabric from stash.The end result is okay. I stitched as close as possible to the edge of the fabric. It's going to be a mug rug for someone who likes squirrels. Probably this is my first and last McKenna Ryan. I'm more into piecing than applique.
