Since I have the white deer applique basically in place I have started putting together the other applique shapes. I had to buy new fabric, because the fabrics I have where to bright and I wanted the colors for this quilt to be subdued. I really want the deer to pop! I feel kind of naked showing everyone these images of the unfinished quilt. The images look so plain. I can hardly wait to get them in place so I can start embroidering . Basically I will get all the applique shapes made, and layed out, then I will Hidden Stitch them on to the background fabric. I will be laying out the shapes by hand with minimal reference since I don’t like to make things perfect. I like it to look hand made.
Make sure to click on the images. This gives you a much better detail.
So do you baste down the seam allowance and then use an embroidery stitch to attatch the applique? Thank you for sharing your work in progress.
Ok, I scrolled down and saw the tutorial all spelled out and answered my own question! Thank you for providing that, too!!!
