April brought shows and finally when the snow and rain showers cleared, small green growth is bringing wonderful spring flowers.  Flowers come in lots of colors, shapes and sizes.  The one thing that is consistent is that they all seem to have petals.  So I have designed a petal, mix them in sizes for leaves and larger for flower of all kinds. Get it the may petal applique here

Check back next month and see what I have made with them!

Happy Sewing!

The last day of February is here. It seemed to go so fast, but I guess it should, being the shortest month of the year. So, I am getting ahead of the game here and have for you another free appliqué. This one is for March the month of so many special events and holidays. A four leaf clover. I picked this as it has many positive thoughts associated with it: Luck, Irish, spring coming around the corner, Faith, Hope, and, of course, Fun!

So download a  four leaf clover and use your favorite appliqué method to apply it!

Until next time and happy sewing,
