ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I've not done any appliqué for years - not since I discovered papercrafting. Look at how it's grown up and moved with the times! There are some stunning designs there.

What a lovely giveaway you are doing! That's awesome. I will leave this prize for those who are big fans so it will go to the place where it will get the best use. Very generous of you to have this giveaway. Hugs, Holley
ReplyDeleteAs Holley says, it is so kind of you to give this prize away, but I too will leave it for an applique devotee as it isn't something that I would use.
