    My sister has a long arm and quilts my stuff when the spirit and her health allows. There is always a pile waiting so I decided to try something different. I am making two of most applique since it is just as easy to sew two with the same color thread as one. One is to be made into a hanging or couch size throw and needs to be quilted. The other is stretched and stapled onto canvas that I buy on sale at Michael's and ready to hang on the wall.Two dozen were bought for a big October sale in Key West and the rest sell fast enough to keep me busy supplyig the shop. It's a great way to sell wall hangings with no quilting!

    This is the fish top also stretched it on canvas.
    Roosters stitched and stretched and hens also put into tops and placemats.
    Two 40+ inch roosters waiting to be stitched (the last one). Have to teach a guild make and take Thursday using a sea turtle so busy making up 100+ kits!

    They're beautiful! Are they your own design or from a pattern you found?

    Are these on a canvas board. If so, yes I do it all the time.
