I have a friend who has a "thing" about sheep. She asked me to make this for her when we saw the pattern at a quilt show. I agreed, but she had changes she wanted made. There was supposed to be a row with flowers and a row with bags (three bags full), and only one black sheep--she wanted only black, white, & red on the quilt. Fortunately, the changes were easy to make. The applique on this was a technique I'd never used before, fusible thread. That part was pretty easy, but I'm not good at the zigzag part. I was pretty surprised by how long this little wallhanging took me. I'm glad I don't ever have to do another one, but I think she'll like it.

Now THAT's a cute quilt. Makes me smile.

This is so CUTE!!

That is really, really cute!

I've never heard of fusible thread applique. I assume you satin-stitch around the (raw?) edge with fusible thread, then iron to melt it. Is that right? If so, I hardly see an advantage to that over using regular thread for satin stitching.

Edit: Googled it and came up with this website:

Just wondering, would you use this technique again?

Very cute!
