Animal Appliques by Sara

Sara is having a new grandbaby!

I believe that the nursery has an animal theme, so Sara found most, if not all of these different animals online, and created her own pattern for machine applique.

She chose a leafy vine for the background, and then I stitched

around all of the details.  Each eye, eye lash, trunk detail, etc.

I love the sleeping lion.

In order to add texture, I stitched over Sara's machine stitching on his feet and body.

12 different colors of thread, but it worked out so well!
