This next one is #92 and gave me more fun appliqueing. I learned something else that is handy. After doing the blanket stitch around the leaves and buds it seemed very washed out. So I took some embroidery floss and threaded it through the blanket stitch! Easy fix and the look I wanted. Also I tried a "split" stitch for the scrolls - I used to do stem stitch but could never keep them neat on curves.

Hope you all have a project that is giving you as much enjoyment as this one is for me!

They are gorgeous!
