I am wondering, too, did you applique and what technique did you use. (satin stitch, hand turned needle, etc......)


(oh, and by the way, if you tire of it---I'll be glad to give it a forever home! :mrgreen: )

I used a satin stitch on it an my daughter thinks she has laid claim to it but i don't quite know for sure it might go on aution block to get more batting.Don't know for sure yet.
