It is not very original, I do not know if it is inside or outside of the box, I do not know what I can do with this embroidery, but my own challenge was to succed an applique for the first time. I had some trouble by cuting the fabrics, perhaps my scissors were not the good ones, but I did it, I DID IT !!!

Thank you to Sewfrenzie who asked how to do an applique, thank you to Shirlene who has given detailed explainations, colour by colour, and thank you to Suedewbury, who had organized the challenge and permitted to me and some others Cuties to undertake to do applique for the first time

Well done, it looks great. Maybe you can frame it, and put it in your sewing area. It will motivate you to do more applique designs. *4u - Hugs Yvonne
