cegates Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is a memory wall hanging that I just finished for a customer. Her dad's shirts were used to make the blocks. He was a tobacco farmer and she had asked for the tobacco leaves in the middle. I used Texture Magic from Superior Threads to get the crinkled look, then raw edge appliqued it. I am really pleased with how it turned out, and so was my customer. I love getting hugs along with the check! Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
