I thought this bride and groom project was going to be easy. I used one of my patterns that had worked before, shrunk it in the copy machine and did just a few adjustments… I am now on my fourth prototype, trying to get things right. I’ll have a whole wedding party at this rate!

When I get frustrated or my hands start to really hurt, I play with the applique. Emboldened by the ATC’s, I tried something a little bigger-

Some ATC tutorials- from Judi at Art Dolls.

And Hil at Spirits Dancing pointed me toward this one.

I have more if you are interested in trading. The ones that aren’t available have a name in the description area.
