Appliqué Tea Towels

Gosh I wish I had a better camera
I've been trying something new the last few days, appliqué.  No, not the hand stitched kind, I'm allergic to any handwork.  The machine sewn kind.  What started it was a trip to a Quilt Expo.  While walking around drooling, I spotted some patterns for appliqué tea towels.  Me being the adventurous type thought, I can do that even without the pattern, sometimes I talk crazy.  Well my first attempt was kind of straight forward, and I do love chickens.  Lesson learned:  what you trace on fusible comes out backward.






My second attempt involved yoyo's (yes I know handwork-bleh).  Lesson learned:  sometimes it's best not to ask the husband for his opinion.  I think it looks like a cactus and  that's all that matters, right?

What adventures have you taken lately?
