Very cute! Is it done on burlap? I have been playing with some designs on burlap with appliqued blackboard fabric as plant markers or whatever. You can write on it with liquid chalk.
I think this is how new trends are born,think outside the box and do it your way. What will this be?
I think it is Cute either way, I have done several this way, cause I am not eager to do applique, and there are some really great designs out there!!! ( Arthritic fingers won't cut as close as needs to be, and they hurt!!!) Hahaha! Hugs, Judy
PS. Love it!!!
It looks great and yes, applique designs can be used without adding fabric - unless there are connection stitches hidden behind it. I used to do that now and again, but stopped doing that so the design could be used as a regular design too.
I think that this looks as good as a conventional applique. But this will be a question,which applique you use and how the design matches with the fabric.
