I got to work yesterday and cut out hearts for the SCRAP Bee. In this Bee we must start with "made" fabric. So the hearts are cut out from the "made" fabric.
I zig-zagged them down onto the pieces of red and pink fabric that were provided for the background. I then put them in an envelope and addressed it. I set the envelope on the kitchen counter to mail the next day or two.
Then I went to my computer and read the post by Victoria and looked at HER hearts in the photo.
Hmm, she only used red and pink fabrics for HER hearts. . . . . Was that what I was supposed to do too? Maybe I had better go and read the original instructions which came out a while ago. Oh, no! She did say "Use your red and pink fabrics"! Guess that didn't stick in my memory.
So how do I preserve the background fabrics ? Think, think, think.....
Oh, yes.... REVERSE applique.
I cut CAREFULLY around the "wrong" hearts. I made a bigger piece of made red & pink fabric and put it UNDER the hole. Then I did the zig-zag thing again.
All fixed. Even made a couple small ones.
Back in the envelope.
Ready to mail tomorrow.
Whew! Glad I caught that error before I mailed them out!
