Rebaquilts

I discovered the apliquick tools and am addicted, so I found an image, enlarged it, put it on my Cutterpillar light mat, traced it onto the fusible interfacing, glue baste turned the 1/4-1/8” edges with the apliquick turning rod thingy (so wonderful), and zigzag stitched the edges down with matching thread to the background. But since thistles are the prickliest plant ever, that simply wasn’t enough. So I “thread painted” (fancy pantsy quilter-speak for machine darning) using coordinating thread all over to mimic the prickly bits. It took quite a while and I used more than one color thread, but it looks 1000% better than the appliqué alone. Waaa-laaaaa. Hugs!
