GuysQuilt2 Abby's Garden - Watching Sue Nickels' episode on here about machine applique changed my mind about trying applique. I started this last Nov. as a Christmas present for a 7 yr old niece. Sue is right when she says it's not a fast method so here it is March and finally finished. But this way I get to deliver it in person so even better. I had fun adding various bugs and earthworms within the quilting and quilted her name in, too. I should add that the pattern is not quite totally original as I borrowed/modified some of the flowers from various sources.
