Many months ago I saw this pattern and fell in love with it...so much so that I bought all the fabric to make it. I mean, really, I'm into this hand applique thing now thanks to Hookin' Buddy.
How bad can it be to prep 540 leaves? It won't take long...

It takes about a year....because you can only prep so many little leaves before you burn all the skin off your fingers with your Clover iron and have to take a break for a few days to let the feeling come back.
But tonight, I prepped the last leaf.

And started gluing the leaves to the vines with my trusty Roxanne's glue...which Soul Sister will tell you is NOT the same thing as Elmer's glue. (She has pretty specific words for Elmer, who did her wrong one day and she's not one to forget.)

Six sashes prepped...34 to go. Then the real fun begins!
