It’s true that many people think I’m talented, creative even. Little do they know that when it comes to floral applique…. let’s just say I’m working on four simple basket blocks. I’m directed to fill each basket with some simple floral fillings. I’m shown examples: roses, bee balm, cockscomb…. what did I end up with? Two things that my husband deemed were prickly pears — I was going for some sort of cactus, so I guess that wasn’t too bad. Although he did say if I put small eyes on them, they’d look like rabbits. Oh dear. My other choice was a very simple folded flower. Tried yo-yos. Nope. These came out looking something like mutant pinks. Oh dear.
