Good day every one. I'm excited about this swap. I can hardly wait to get started.
I sent my information again with my e-mail address. Patiently waiting for my pattern.
I do have one question? Can we use the wonder under type of applicate? Just wondering the technique.

Happylab, please pm me your email so I can send you the pattern!
As far as applique you can use wonder under, lite heat & bond, or whatever fusible you prefer. Cut your background fabric to at least 7 inches so if it shrinks when you applique you'll still have a true 6 1/2 inches. Fuse your fabric, then cut the pattern, measure the pieces so that it's 5 1/2 inches before you iron (that will leave room when you sew it together) then fuse. Finish by sewing your pieces in place with a blanket stitch, zig-zag, or satin stitch!
