All I could do was laugh when I saw your reference to me! Or was that of Teresa's old refrigerator?!![]()

Of course it was to you! I am not ready for anyone to closely look at my appliqués! I am in awe of you and Aimee and others who have picked it up so quickly.
Too cute!!!! Love it! GO NOLES!!!! I wish I could get FSU fabric around here and/or ribbon to make bows...It's so pricey on "that" site and I know if I were in Tally again I could get it. I'm jealous and your daughter looks like a very bright girl ~ being a FSU fan!
Actually, my parents live in Tallahassee and I have been bugging my mom for months about fabric and she says there is none there either. I don't know why you can get every other college except FSU: it's so annoying. I spent $12 on the seminole head fabric from Voldemort, so this outfit was probably more expensive than those overpriced cheerleading outfits they sell, but I think it was worth it.
Aimee, I grew up in Tallahassee: small world!
I haven't read since last night but I absolutely had to share that I just finished my first appliqué! I am quite pleased with it and think it went well, other than the detail straight stitches. I kept the shape simple, which helped. I used all the tips I've read here and used bobbin thread, heat n' bond lite, and sulky, tear-away stabilizer. I did not use a pressing sheet because neither Joann's I went to seemed to carry it so I guess I'll order it. Anyway, here's the applique, I'll share the full dress later when I have a model for it. Although I like it, do any of you pros see something wrong that I need to do different next time?

That is totally cute! I think you did a great job!
I totally CASEd this from several of you, so I hope that's ok! I'm so excited, because it was my first time cutting into my Minnie dot. Ok, it was the Walmart knockoff, but still I swear I could hear the theme for JAWS as I was cutting it!

I finished my Christmas outfit for Emma. Thanks to all of you for your input. I went out and bought all the good stuff for appliquing onto Tshirts and it worked like a dream!

Wow, your applique work looks great! That is beautiful!
Not quite sure which picture I had on there last but thanks!! I have already shared the pic of her preschool dress but here she is on her very first day (Thursday).
With her cousin Catherine on their 1st day of preschool.

FYI...ever since the day I finished this dress, she has had to wear it EVERYDAY. She wore this dress 8 days straight (I had to sneak and wash it several times)!!!!! She looooooves it that much! I'm about finished with another one so people will know she owns different clothes!
What a cute story: that's so nice when they love what you make. She is precious!
