Summer Fun Appliqué

I just have had a great time sewing out some of my collection of fun summertime appliqué designs. Naturally drawn to color as I am this season allows me a no holds barred opportunity to use the best and brightest fabrics I have on hand.

Polka Dot Octopus in Aqua

Used glow in the dark thread for this little angler fish. Just received a testimonial from my grandson Dylan that it indeed glows in the dark! Design is from Lynnie Pinnie.

Hot Pink!!!! Just added appliqué pockets to this little dress.

Pocket detail.
