I found some left over Valentine’s Day fabric from my Cookie’s in a Jar present last year.
I thought I would give a whirl at applique. I did it several years ago but never tried it again.
I googled a good description and found these great and easy to follow directions HERE from Seamingly Smitten
I bought a single flour sack towel at Ben Franklin, not the cheapest place but did not want to buy a bunch unless I knew it would be a success. Plus the ones at Target were really thin and this one was more of a durable one.
Following the directions the same except I did not have the double sided Heat Bond so I used fabric tape to hold everything in place.
I could have stopped here, pretty proud of the outcome,
But, I decided to pencil in an arrow and came out with this:
This is really an easy process especially if you are only using one easy design and fabric choice. Visited my sister this weekend so she I gave it to her, I think I need to make one for myself.

Thanks so much for participating in my blog hop! Following you as well. Great blog!
That is so cute! Did you use a sewing machine? Thank you for the link, too!
You did an awesome job!
Thank you so much for linking up to the Virtual Valentine’s Day party. I hope you will have many party guests stop by.
For that being your first applique in years that is AMAZING! I love how you added the arrow! It would be cute on a Valentine’s tote bag, too (to carry all your Valentine’s goodies)
P.S. I’m about to post some Mardi Gras applique designs if you want to check those out later today.
So cute–love it!
