Let’s see a few selections for the lady bug. I wanted to make her peach (yes… it’s a girl!). This one would work…
mmm… then I thought maybe a light green body….
Success! I like this opition with the dot fabric! So I have a GREEN lady bug… I’m creative like that!
Here she is all fused down
And with the embroidery lines drawn on.
All the rest of the flower parts for the pieced blocks.. go go go!
Grab your BEAUTIFUL Aurifil threads and “Lets Sew”!
Here is a close up of where I will START to stitch. Right where the bottom of the wings meet. So the wing on the LEFT first
Zoom Zoom around the wing until you get to the top where they meet again.
The way two wings meet, you can go straight across to wing #2. Then stitch it. Wing #2 is slightly on top of Wing #1.
I used the Burgundy 2460 for these 2 dots.
ALL DONE.. and yes.. QUILTED even!

If you are not familiar with this fusible method, see my book ‘Learn to applique’ for how I do fusible and keep the shapes as soft as possible by cutting away.. plus it’s economical as you don’t waste fusible!
