Dummy me, I thought the first one was a "pooped chicken", but didn't know why the bottle was there. They are pretty cute and aren't you glad you jumped in?

You did a great job and they are so funny. Did you use fusible web and then stitch around that or use any stabilizer? I'm going to try applique soon and would like to know what technique you used. Thanks.

Try using some of the decorative stitches on your machine for sewing around the edges of your appliques. It's fun and gives them a whole new look.

Would you give us the name of that book, please? Thanks!
