Dopey Dogs Appliqué:  Another original appliqué design from Cindy. It was suggested that maybe a dog design would make a nice change from the many cat patterns we see. They were so much fun to work on and I was very excited to get them into the class schedule. I’ve used the blanket stitch for the appliqué with jewel box joinings. These little guys just make me smile.
