Thanks all for your suggestions.I made her a 8x12 cushion pieced cushion in the end as I couldn't find what I really wanted.I just wanted her to have something with her name on as it is unusual here in Spain.Her name is Willow.
Could you not use an Outline alphabet as an applique with batting in between your fabric and use disolving stabiliser. You will have to sew the first layer with your fabric face down, cut off extra fabric then place batting and you other layer of fabric face up and stitch again. Hugs Yvonne
This sound like a great idea, I hope someone has a site to go to.....thanks for the question.
I bought a soft toy alphabet at stitch-delight (the old page!) and the fitting numbers at dainty but they are not longer there (watched on both sites). Maybe you can send a mail to Darleen about the letters? They are called "soft toy alpha".
Greetings, Bettina
Thank you.The ones I saw were stitched on funky polka dot material if I remember rightly.
