I just had to share...

My quilt friend ND was in charge of teaching an applique technique this month and she chose these darling kitty blocks for us to practice. She decided that this month would be fusible applique with hand stitching and gave us the tip of cutting the fusible's middle out and leaving a much smaller "rim" of glue to make it easier to stitch down. The second kitty has some really cute stitching doing a sort of wonky cross stitch!
I am hoping to do one this year LOL!
