THE LEAVES - THE LEAVES!

Well, the leaves are finished - at least the ones with names and dates. It was a relief to get them finished. I've been trying to decide how to attach them permanently. Someone suggested upholstery glue. I think I may use some fabric glue to "baste" them and then hand sew them unless I can come up with a better idea. I'm also going to fill in with some more blank leaves but they won't be hard to do at all.

I sold a couple of things at the consignment shop. They told me one of my laundry bags sold and also one of the knit gown/blanket sets. She also thought a couple of burp cloths. While I was there she told me she and a friend were going to a craft show on Dec. 3 (a weekday) and if I could get some things ready she would take them. So, here are pics of a few things I've done. The first ones are burp cloths with appliques on them. I'm interested in what you think of the appliques on diapers that have a print on them. Does it look too busy? I usually just trim them with ribbon and a name or initials but since I won't be there to put names and initials on, I thought I'd try something different.





These last two are hand towels - one turned out fine the other not so hot. It has too many little loops and bunched threads on the back.

UPDATE: Tues Night

Here are pictures of two more burp cloths I made for the sale. The redwork one is on a blue diaper -- it would be really cute with a name or initials added to it.
