Progress! I made and appliqued vines to my top. This is how I did it.
First I cut one inch strips at an angle. It isn’t a true 45 degree bias, but it works.
Then I folded the two edges in so they overlapped and sewed a basting stitch down the middle.
This is what it looked like.
Then I played around until I was happy with the placement and glue basted it in place with Elmers School glue.
I used this die to cut shapes for leaves from freezer paper.
I ironed these onto the back of my fabric and basted the edges to prepare my leaves for applique.
I tried to do a few leaves here and there while the little boys were here last week. I’m pleased with my progress!
Have a great day!

Love it. Thanks for showing us how you did the stems and leaves. Another beauty for your collection. Blessings,
Hi Katy! Thanks for the tutorial – I didn’t even know there was a die for leaves. Hey – I missed the doll house update this weekend. Ahem. Your followers want what they want. HAHA! JK ~smile~ Roseanne
I love it!
Aha! Elmers glue! I had a feeling Elmers wasn’t too far off from what is in my Roxannes bottle. Thanks for the tip!
Looking good. You will be so pleased when you are finished.
