Hint for drawing animal faces to applique
I'm working on a quilt that originally had bear appliques in the pattern. I am changing the bears to cats, but I was having a really hard time getting the cat faces to look right. My cats all looked sort of like dogs -- maybe because I have 8 dogs but no cats.
What I've done to solve my lack of drawing skills is to download cat photos from the internet and insert them in a word processing program. I then size the photo to the measurements I need in the quilt, print the photo, and trace it. This works like a charm.
